Digital sovereignty is emerging as a success factor for the German economy – but few companies have a strategy for it in place. This is the conclusion drawn by the first “Digital Sovereignty Index” – compiled by adesso together with the Handelsblatt Research Institute. The cross-industry survey of around 500 companies and public sector organisations reveals that while the German economy may believe that it is well-equipped for the topic of digital sovereignty, it is still largely dependent on digital solutions from non-European providers.

IT service provider adesso will be opening a new office in Singapore in October 2025. The new office will strengthen the company’s presence in Asia. Singapore will serve as a strategic hub for growth in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market. adesso will start operations at the office in the beginning of September. Initially, the IT service provider plans to focus on the financial sector along with the insurance and retail sectors.

The high-profile industry gathering with over 1,500 attandees in Düsseldorf was marked by a palpable sense of optimism. The focus was on digital sovereignty, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the future of digital transformation in Europe.

Cyber attacks, growing regulatory requirements and disruptive technologies are increasingly posing security-related challenges for companies. The new meta-study “Rethinking Security: Resilience, Compliance and AI as Future Factors” by adesso and Statista shows that companies wishing to remain competitive in the future will have to think strategically about cybersecurity – and make targeted investments in governance, resilience, compliance (GRC) and the secure use of new technologies.
