On 26 June 23, the meeting organised by ALASCA Initiated round table on the topic of Open Source and Regional IT Infrastructure as the Driving Force for Digital Sovereignty took place in the restaurant of the Saxon Parliament in Dresden. Within the top-class discussion round, current challenges as well as concrete steps on the part of politics and business for the implementation of measures were discussed, which are aimed at sustainably strengthening digital sovereignty in the regional environment. Associations and initiatives such as ALASCA provide the framework for this in order to bundle a wide range of competences across company boundaries. On an open source basis, with open standards and at eye level between the actors.
