All talks by Olivier Oullier

Ecosystems and deep partner integrations are central to securing AI sovereignty at scale, complementing the regulatory foundations Europe has already established. In this session, Talal draws on Core42's experience constructing one of the world's most deeply integrated AI ecosystems, spanning government, private sector and academia, to explore what it actually takes to embed sovereignty into the fabric of an AI-enabled economy. Joined by Core42's partners NVIDIA and Microsoft, the conversation examines how tightly connected ecosystems, where infrastructure, models and institutions move together, create the kind of strategic independence that fragmented, dependency-heavy approaches cannot. The experience points to a wider theme: that sovereignty tends to follow from the partnerships and ecosystem an economy builds, and how effectively those partners work together.
