Join our breakout session

European digital sovereignty: inescapable trap or manageable risk?Navigating the alternatives to US Tech Dependency

With 80% of Europe’s cloud capacity controlled by US providers, financial institutions face a strategic “quasi-colony” risk.

New regulations such as DORA, combined with rising geopolitical tensions, are forcing institutions to reassess their exposure and rethink their cloud strategy.

This session brings together senior executives and decision-makers to debate the alternatives. From mature European infrastructure and open-source standards to emerging “geopatriation” strategies.

Join us to explore how to reclaim digital sovereignty and ensure operational resilience without sacrificing innovation.

Visit our booth

More than a traditional conference, SuperNova brings together people and organisations driving the next wave of business and technology.

At AE, we believe this next wave is not about isolated AI experiments, but about creating measurable value with AI at scale.

That requires more than disconnected use cases or standalone automation tools. It requires orchestration across processes, data and technology: a structured approach we call Hyperautomation.

At our booth, we will demonstrate how organisations can move beyond fragmented initiatives and build the foundations for sustainable impact. From intelligent process automation and AI-driven decision support to emerging applications such as agentic AI, we focus on translating innovation into operational value.

Whether you are exploring your first AI initiatives or scaling automation across the enterprise, our experts are ready to engage in a strategic conversation about your challenges and ambitions.
