Shaping digitalization in a sovereign and democratic way
How can we become digitally independent?
The use of certain digital services unnoticed restricts one's own independence, security and thus self-determination. This leads to massive disadvantages for companies, the public sector and civil society.
The whitepaper shows ways to enable a sovereign digital Europe.
Digital sovereignty from Germany for Europe
We are on the edge of a technological revolution that will fundamentally change our lives, our working world and the way we interact with each other. It is our task to guarantee our digital sovereignty for the future and to comply with German data protection standards and European values - without compromise.
For us, digital sovereignty also means: control over our data. We decide for ourselves where it is stored, who has access to it and how we use it. This makes us independent of companies or governments that do not share our values.
Do we want to make the same mistake as we did with energy supply?
Like oil in the 21st century, data is the fuel of our digital value creation. It leads to an acceleration of decision-making and adaptation processes in companies and to an increase in value creation in all areas, for example in development, production and sales.
This makes far-reaching strategic changes necessary. Innovations, jobs and our business location depend on our digital sovereignty.
"As the IT and digital division of Schwarz Group, we are our own most critical customer. We continue to develop future-proof solutions for our customers that meet our high standards."
Christian Müller, Co-CEO Schwarz Digits
Strengthen business location
As a society, we must not run after others in key technologies without reflection, but must go our own way. This means building up software, hardware and expertise in Germany and Europe ourselves.
As Schwarz Digits, we combine cloud solutions, cyber security, artificial intelligence and secure communication at the highest level of security and data protection. With this combination, we ensure that knowledge and innovation remain in the right hands. This is how we strengthen Germany and Europe as business locations.
Why are we gambling away our prosperity in the digital world?
The amount of data generated every day today corresponds to the total amount of data generated between 1970 and 2010. Sensors, IoT and self-service by people, for example through the use of apps and social media, have increased the amount of data exponentially. With the introduction of cloud solutions, data access and data collection have become more flexible and omnipresent.
Artificial intelligence is also exponentially increasing the possibilities for making decisions and deriving services from data. Those who can train AI with high-quality information have greater power potential.
Data is the resource for entrepreneurial independence and social freedom.
“It is more urgent than ever to develop a vision and clear strategy for a sovereign digital Europe.”
Rolf Schumann, Co-CEO Schwarz Digits
