In the tech world, we often talk about the "next big thing." But as I’ve shared before, real innovation isn’t just about the initial spark of an idea; it’s about the collective effort required to move that idea from a research lab into a resilient, production-grade environment. It’s about the "and"—combining research and innovation with enterprise operations. That’s why I’m proud to announce that The Open Accelerator is joining the Google for Startups Cloud Program. With this collaboration, participants in The Open Accelerator will gain access to a breadth of Google resources des

In early 2025, I wrote that uncertain times call for greater operational control and IT resiliency. Today, those uncertainties have materialized into a permanent shift in how European organizations view their digital future. By moving AI from the sandbox to the center of the enterprise, the industry has placed a massive new burden on IT infrastructure, making rigorous operational oversight the new baseline for success. Enterprises need greater control over how and where AI runs and a consistent way to govern fast moving technologies like agentic AI.To understand how IT leaders are navigating t

This has shifted digital sovereignty from an abstract compliance concept to a critical strategic mandate for risk mitigation. For organizations in highly regulated industries, achieving true digital autonomy requires more than just localizing physical data centers. It demands developing a strong sovereign support model to help build, deploy and run critical workloads in-jurisdiction. This requ
