The Workshop Agreement is the result of the initiative of AFNOR, IEEE and VDE to identify the needs for standardization about the concept of Digital Sovereignty in the European context.
The Workshop’s aim is to develop a shared understanding of ‘digital sovereignty’. This concept of Digital Sovereignty was mentioned in the State of the Union Address by President von der Leyen and by European Commissioner for the Internal Market Thierry Breton. At the same time, it is rising on the agenda of other nations and trade blocks, too.
