Business Breakfast with T-Systems

Description

The American Chamber of Commerce in Germany and its Regional Chapter North Rhine Westphalia are pleased to invite you to a Business Breakfast with T-Systems on the topic “Tech Sovereignty in the European Union: Navigating Resilience, Compliance, and Innovation” on Friday, June 26, 2026, 8:30-11:30 AM, at the T Gallery in Bonn.

Against the backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions, global dependencies, and regulatory requirements, tech sovereignty has become a major topic of discussion.

This Business Breakfast aims to bring together European cloud and infrastructure providers, regulatory experts, corporate Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), Chief Information Security Officer (CISOs), as well as public sector representatives to discuss how organizations can address evolving EU technology regulations while maintaining speed, scalability, and trust. We are delighted to welcome speakers from AmCham Germany members Deutsche Telekom / T-Systems, KPMG, Klöckner & Co SE, and Evonik. The panel discussion will be moderated by Annika Bahl, Director Government and Public Affairs, WILO Group, and member of AmCham Germany's NextGen Steering Committee.

Join us for an engaging morning in an informal setting, offering practical insights, frank discussion, and the opportunity to connect with peers from the AmCham Germany community in NRW.

Please Note: For those interested, an optional free tour of the T Gallery Bonn will be arranged right after the event for up to 20 people. The T-Gallery in Bonn is the flagship innovation forum of Deutsche Telekom. Located at the company’s headquarters, it serves as a high-tech showroom and a "future lab" where the digitalization of life and work is made tangible.

Registration for AmCham Germany Members upon invitation only.
