Why this topic is so important right now
Digital resilience is far more than a technical term from IT. When discussing stable systems, independent infrastructures, and open standards, one also speaks of action capacity in politics, administration, and business. This lecture addresses exactly that: with a look at European solutions that not only convince technically but also create societal security.

An evening for everyone who wants to rethink digitalization
The online lecture is aimed at everyone who understands digital sovereignty not just as a buzzword but as a concrete goal for the future of Europe. The event is designed as a compact lecture evening and makes complex interconnections understandable. The format is particularly suitable for people from education, administration, business, and interested citizens seeking orientation in the digital transformation.

Martin Hullin and the European Perspective on Resilience
Martin Hullin works as Director for the Network for Technological Resilience & Sovereignty at the Bertelsmann Stiftung. In a current contribution, his perspective on Europe's digital independence becomes clear: open, rule-based, and resilient digital orders that do not depend on a few platforms. This makes him a suitable initiator for an evening about open source, security, and innovative strength.
