Digital Sovereignty & Data Governance Workshop

About the Workshop

The Digital Sovereignty & Data Governance Workshop is an advanced programme for institutional leaders, policymakers, and senior officials exploring the strategic dimensions of digital sovereignty. Based on research from Tonisha’s book SOVEREIGN and the TEE Method™ framework, the workshop addresses one of the defining governance challenges of the AI era: who controls the digital infrastructure, data systems, and algorithmic decision-making that shape modern societies?
