Strategic diversification should be the focus, and networks need to be able to operate under stress Thibaut Kleiner of the European Commission stressed that sovereignty doesn’t mean going it alone, it means building resilience through trusted partners, while developing Europe’s own technology in critical areas Moderated by Kait Bolongaro, the discussion looked at what a secure and sovereign digital Europe means in practice Next: from ambition to adoption in AI

Labas from Vilnius 👋 We’re two days into our delegation in Vilnius, ahead of Lithuania taking over the Presidency of the Council of the EU in January 2027. So far we’ve met Kęstutis Budrys, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Lukas Savickas, Minister of Energy, along with Vice-Ministers Guoda Burokienė and Tomas Juočys, as well as Kara McDonald, US Ambassador to Lithuania. Our message throughout has been that the EU’s competitiveness agenda cannot lose steam. Businesses need to start feeling simplification in their day-to-day operations, and a Single Market that stays open to investors will be stronger for it. Thank you to everyone for the open and constructive conversations so far on what Lithuania wants to achieve during its Presidency and how business can help.
