Dans un contexte géopolitique incertain, marqué par des décisions protectionnistes des États-Unis, cette dépendance pose des risques stratégiques majeurs. Comment assurer la souveraineté numérique du pays et garantir une résilience économique face aux pressions extérieures ? Cette conférence explore les enjeux, les menaces potentielles et les solutions pour développer une autonomie numérique durable.
