UpCloud Connect Copenhagen

Join us Wednesday, January 28th for our next instalment of UpCloud Connect. This time live from Copenhagen!

Get ready for an unmissable afternoon as we dive into the future of the European cloud from the heart of Denmark. This edition arrives at a pivotal moment: with rapidly rising geopolitical uncertainty, the acceleration of AI adoption and the increasing scrutiny on how and where European data is stored.

With the launch of UpCloud’s brand-new Danish data centre, we’re doubling down on empowering Danish organisations with proactive risk protection, uncompromising performance, and true European data sovereignty. This event will give you a front-row seat regarding what sovereign cloud infrastructure looks like both today and for the future.

Why you should attend

Across Europe, businesses face evolving challenges in securing data sovereignty while staying competitive and resilient. During this event, we’ll explore:

• The new pressures Danish organisations face as global political shifts reshape digital risk, including the impacts of the latest Trump administration.
• Which vulnerabilities matter most right now, and how proactive cloud strategy can prevent tomorrow’s challenges before they arise.
• How Europe’s tech landscape is changing and what those shifts mean for innovation, continuity, compliance and long-term planning.
• How to leverage sovereign, high-performance cloud infrastructure to strengthen resilience and unlock new opportunities.

Together with industry experts, we’ll examine what has changed, the risks these shifts introduce, and the opportunities they open for organisations committed to European digital autonomy.

Collaboration in Copenhagen

UpCloud Connect Copenhagen is built on collaboration. We’re proud to join forces with Solita, CloudPortal and Qampo to bring together real-world expertise and a 360° perspective on how modern, sovereignty-focused cloud solutions protect European values while enabling meaningful innovation.

Furthermore, we are incredibly excited to welcome Natasha Friis Saxberg, CEO Danish ICT Industry Association & Vice Chairman, Danish Quantum Community. Natasha joins us as a prominent voice in the EU conversation on data sovereignty, focusing on reducing critical dependencies, strengthening European tech capability and ensuring both governments and organizations can govern strategic data under their own frameworks. She pairs industry-policy leadership with a long track record in digital strategy and entrepreneurship.
