Europe’s Digital Turning Point | Key Takeaways From The 2025 Strasbourg Digital Forum

From April 23 to 25, 2025, nearly 200 leaders, experts, and decision-makers gathered in Strasbourg to share insights, debate geopolitical challenges, and define concrete actions to shape a more sovereign, competitive, and inclusive digital Europe.

Co-organized by Cigref—a network of nearly 150 major French corporations and public institutions focused on advancing digital capabilities—and Numeum, France’s leading trade association for digital companies representing over 2,500 businesses across software, platforms, IT services, and consulting, the Strasbourg Digital Forum brought together public sector representatives, academics, and business leaders.

TNP, alongside its peers, actively contributed to strategic discussions, collaborative workshops, and high-level exchanges to share its vision of a pragmatic, impact-driven digital future.

This summary document includes:

  • Key takeaways from the plenary sessions, led by top-tier speakers—economists, AI experts, policy-makers, and military officials
  • Structuring proposals from eight thematic workshops, built around three strategic pillars: sovereignty, inclusion, and responsibility
  • Concrete calls to action to inform public procurement, education, regulation, and investment decisions
