Digital Sovereignty & Cybersecurity:
Ad Fontes at the heart of the European debate

As a Gold Sponsor and member of the European Champions Alliance (ECA), (lawyer in Germany and France and data protection officer) and Sven Zehl (cybersecurity expert) from Ad Fontes were speakers and workshop moderators at the ECA Tech Summit in February 2025.

Having been working with the European Champions Alliance for many years, Ad Fontes had the opportunity this year to shed light on the highly topical issue of European digital sovereignty from a data protection perspective and and to discuss the necessary steps towards powerful European alternatives.

In addition to Ad Fontes, participants at the conference included companies such as Schwarz Digits, Aleph Alpha, Arte, Sopra Steria, Harfanglab, Enclaive, SAP, Airbus, Fraunhofer, and many others..

Parallel to exciting panel discussions, we participated in workshops on the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence, the establishment of a European cybersecurity platform, and digital sovereignty. The results of the work will be used by the ECA and its members for further cooperation in the coming months.

The Tech Summit was also an excellent opportunity for Ad Fontes to network with providers of a wide range of cybersecurity solutions who are featured in the ECA’s Cybersecurity Mapping 2025.

Ad Fontes is the only law firm featured in the mapping to demonstrate how we combine data protection and cybersecurity in a holistic approach in our projects. You can download our interview in the mapping free of charge here.
