Digital Sovereignty Leadership: Governing Power in the Algorithmic Age

This advanced masterclass explores how emerging technologies are reshaping the foundations of sovereignty, governance, and strategic autonomy in the digital era. Participants will examine the intersections of artificial intelligence, intellectual property, and digital trade law, identifying how algorithmic power structures now influence national policy, economic resilience, and global positioning.

Through interactive lectures, comparative case studies, and facilitated roundtables, the session will equip participants with analytical and practical tools to assess digital dependencies and craft informed, future-ready governance strategies. Drawing on insights from leading experts, participants will learn to apply sovereignty assessment frameworks and navigate the ethical balance between openness and control.

Designed for policymakers, regulators, and senior decision-makers, this masterclass offers a uniquely Canadian perspective while situating national challenges within the broader EU, U.S., and Asia-Pacific contexts.
