Digital sovereignty in public administration is one of the most pressing issues of our time. But how can this sovereignty be not only demanded, but actively implemented? The key lies in targeted cooperation between public IT service providers. At our stand, we will be presenting specific use cases and best practice examples that make one thing clear: cooperation creates the ability to act!
The focus is on our members – Prosoz Herten GmbH, Ostwestfalen-Lippe-IT, KDN, Komm.ONE, BIT Bremerhaven and ekom21 – who, with innovative approaches and joint solutions, prove that digital sovereignty is not an abstract goal, but a living reality.
From nationwide coordination to municipal implementation, they show how shared infrastructure, coordinated processes and strategic partnerships make public IT stronger, more secure and more independent.
What you can expect:
• Successful projects from practice: Learn how our members live digital sovereignty every day – with measurable results.
• Strategic impulses: Find out why cooperation is the basis for a more resilient and citizen-oriented administration.
• Inspiration for your work: Discover approaches that you can use directly in your own organisation.
Digital sovereignty cannot be achieved alone – it is the result of smart networking and shared responsibility. Visit us at SCCON 2025 and let us show you how we can set the course for a digital future together!
