In his keynote, he explores:
- why Europe is facing structural pressure today
- how Europe can regain control of its future
- technological sovereignty between the US and China
- the impact of AI and automation on work, the economy and stability
This is not about doom thinking, but about a clear call to action:
what entrepreneurs, policymakers and technology leaders must do now.

Art & Inspiration
Where datameets creativity
For the opening of our new site in Diegem, we turned to the imagination of renowned Belgian artist Luk Van Soom. Known for his monumental sculptures that explore weightlessness, elevation and quite literally, the cloud, his work invites us to look up and think beyond.
Van Soom’s art flirts with gravity, just as our data flows defy it. By blending poetry and structure, he creates sculptures that feel as light as air yet rooted in meaning.
His latest creation, designed specifically for this site, brings a new dimension to the idea of a data center reaching for the clouds.
