We’re thrilled to welcome the global open infrastructure community to OpenInfra Summit Europe! As the digital landscape grows more complex and interconnected, the importance of digital sovereignty—the ability to control and protect data, infrastructure, and technologies on your own terms—has never been greater.

The Digital Sovereignty track is your opportunity to help define what autonomy looks like in the age of global-scale open infrastructure. If you’re building frameworks for data control, navigating cross-border governance, or deploying decentralized systems in the wild, we want to hear from you.

Submit your proposal by June 13 and help us shine a light on how open source can support resilient, self-determined digital futures for nations, regions, and organizations alike.

What We’re Looking For

The Programming Committee is especially interested in:

• Innovative, practical frameworks for achieving data autonomy in a global context—solutions that balance openness with control and compliance.
• Explorations of decentralized infrastructure models that can empower local or regional digital control while maintaining interoperability.
• Effective cross-border data governance strategies, especially those built around open standards and community collaboration.
• Compelling case studies that showcase real-world implementations of digital sovereignty using open-source technologies.
• Forward-looking visions that illustrate how digital sovereignty can evolve through collaboration, openness, and technological leadership.
• “Stories from the trenches”—lessons learned, challenges overcome, and tools developed that save time, reduce complexity, and increase autonomy.
• Pragmatic development roadmaps—proposals grounded in real-world demand and use cases, not just hype.
• Federated cloud deployments—examples of multiple OpenStack clouds operating together under unified identity systems, with cross-cloud billing, resource sharing, and user management.
• Engagement by public officials—talks that highlight how governments and institutions are supporting or implementing digital sovereignty initiatives.
