The rise of AI and growing digital dependency present international companies with new strategic and operational challenges. Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue; it is deeply intertwined with geopolitics, governance, and control over critical infrastructure.
AI offers enormous opportunities but also increases vulnerability. Think of automated attacks and deepfakes. At the same time, the demand for digital autonomy is growing: more control over data, technology, and decisions, free from geopolitical pressure and dependence on dominant technology players. International cooperation is essential. No organization or state can solve this alone. What is needed is an open dialogue between public and private actors, across borders, to establish shared standards and workable strategies.
Ernst Noorman, Ambassador for Cyber Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, deals with these complex issues on a daily basis. During this Vision Dinner, he will guide you through the latest international developments in the field of cybersecurity, AI, and digital autonomy. He also looks forward to discussing with you the role of international companies in strengthening digital resilience, the importance of public-private partnerships, and shaping a future-proof digital strategy.
We cordially invite you to participate in this strategic discussion and share your perspective on the building blocks of a secure, autonomous, and ethically responsible digital future.
