David Michels explores the "internal drivers" that lead organisations to seek sovereign cloud solutions. He discusses how an organisation’s own operational and commercial needs, particularly in sectors like defense, intelligence, or strategic R&D (e.g., advanced encryption, quantum computing, AI), necessitate safeguarding data from foreign government control and unauthorized access. Learn why protecting national security and sensitive research is a strong motivator for adopting sovereign cloud solutions.
David Michels is a Researcher of Cloud Computing Law at Queen Mary University, and this is part of his keynote at European Sovereign Cloud Day in Brussels, on June 3, 2025.
