As Europe strengthens its focus on digital sovereignty, two new software labels — Software Made in Europe and Software Hosted in Europe — have been launched to bring greater transparency to the software market.
To present the new labels, DIGITAL SME hosts an info session to provide a overview of the labels and their role in building trust, enhancing market visibility, and supporting Europe’s technological independence. By promoting trusted European software solutions, the labels contribute to strengthening Europe’s digital sovereignty and positioning European providers at the forefront of the digital economy.
Beyond introducing the labels and answer any question from interested companies, the webinar will highlight success stories from label holders and outline other initiatives to support Europe’s digital sovereignty at DIGITAL SME.
What participants will gain:
- Clear guidance on how to successfully apply for the European software labels
- Insights and success stories from a German perspective
- Direct engagement through an interactive Q&A session
