CAISA Chief Scientist contributes to debate at an event by the Confederation of Danish Industry.
How do organizations work with digital sovereignty in concrete terms? This was a central question at the DI Digital-event by the Confederation of Danish Industry on April 23rd, 2026, where the topic was on the agenda among companies, decision-makers, and experts.
CAISA Chief Scientist Roman Jurowetzki participated in the discussions and contributed with perspectives on how work on digital sovereignty is increasingly moving from strategic ambitions to operational choices in practice.
From Strategy to Practice
A key message from the event is that digital sovereignty cannot be reduced to a single overarching strategy. Instead, it concerns ongoing and concrete prioritizations within organizations, for example regarding the choice of technologies, partners, regulatory approaches, and the ability to adapt or replace systems.
Roman Jurowetzki emphasizes that organizations’ work with AI and digital solutions is itself a critical component of building digital sovereignty. Experience from implementation and operations creates the necessary capacity to navigate a complex technological and geopolitical landscape.
At the same time, the discussion highlighted that digital sovereignty largely concerns organizational capacity: The ability to understand one’s own systems, assess their performance, and make informed decisions on that basis. This requires, among other things, insight into digital infrastructures, competencies in AI and data, and systematic learning through practice.
A Core Research Area at CAISA
Digital sovereignty is a core research area at CAISA. The center focuses on analyzing how the concept is translated into practice in a Danish and European context, including how organizations balance innovation and control, and how political ambitions are transformed into concrete decisions.
Roman Jurowetzki’s participation in the DI Digital event is an example of how CAISA’s research is brought into play in ongoing discussions on digital development and governance.
