Building a Microsoft and Google Alternative with 1% of the Resources: The Power of Open Source, Remote Work, and Innovation Culture
Nina Müller

Competing with tech giants like Microsoft and Google may seem impossible for smaller companies with limited resources. However, Nextcloud has proven that an open-source business model, remote work, and a culture of open communication and innovation can provide a path to success. This presentation will explore how organizations can leverage open-source development, a distributed workforce, and agile innovation strategies to build competitive alternatives with a fraction of the budget and workforce.

Digital Sovereignty at the intersection of national autonomy and international collaboration
Tobias Brunner, Henry Poole, Clarisse Schröder, Nina Müller, Paula Grzegorzewska, Rahel Estermann

Different talks have during the day touched or had as a main topic digital sovereignty. It has always been an important issue for a country like Switzerland, but becomes more and more important and urgent. Even if the basic tenet is accepted, the path forward, especially in the very complex situation with supply chains, international collaboration, the general complexity of todays societies is very much open to discussion. With the panelists that span very different view points and have different backgrounds we hope to explore some aspects of balancing how to proceed.
