Fintech, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure now play a decisive role in the transformation of economies. Far beyond mere technological innovation, they are shaping national competitiveness, enabling the fluidity of exchanges, and strengthening the ability of states to control their own development tools. In this context, digital sovereignty has become a major strategic issue: it reflects a country’s capacity to control its data, critical networks, and financial systems in an increasingly interconnected global environment.
Questions:

  • Are governments investing today at a level that matches the technological challenges of tomorrow?
  • What financing mechanisms are most effective in building sovereign and sustainable digital infrastructure?
  • How can we prepare the next generation for the jobs, skills, and opportunities of the digital economy?
  • Can advanced digitalization remain inclusive and beneficial for society as a whole?
  • What role will artificial intelligence play in future growth, and how can it be governed responsibly?
