French Tech Sovereignty Summit Brussels - Build Europe. Own It.

Build Europe. Own It.

You choose a cloud. You sign a software contract. You fund a startup, or you write a rule. Each of these choices decides who builds Europe's technology, and who owns it.

On Thursday 28 January 2027, the French Tech Sovereignty Summit Brussels brings together the people who make these choices: founders, buyers, investors, policymakers and researchers. One day at the heart of the European Union to share what works and leave with practical next steps, with a special focus on Franco-Belgian cooperation.

Five themes

• Compute: where your data and your models run, and who holds the keys
• Buy: how organisations actually choose European suppliers
• Fund: the patient capital that European tech needs to grow
• Protect: security and resilience, designed and built in Europe
• Connect: the talent and the networks behind European technology

Full programme and speakers announced in early December.

What you take home

• Meet the founders who already build European cloud, cybersecurity, AI and software
• Hear EU institutions and French and Belgian leaders on what comes next
