And with that, we have concluded another incredible Navigate event As Navigate Europe 2024 comes to an end, we couldn't be more grateful for everyone involved, from our sponsors, attendees, and most importantly, the Civo team. It was a packed event with over 40 talks and workshops on a range of topics, such as artificial intelligence (AI), emerging technology, LLMs, and security in the cloud native space.

When looking back at the role artificial intelligence (AI) has played in revolutionizing different industries that would typically require human intelligence, it is important to consider the next steps in this journey and how it is starting to evolve. With the growth of the industry, the volume and complexity of data are becoming unmanageable for pre-existing AI models.

Even the largest global companies have challenges operating across multiple countries, moving and storing data and navigating multiple jurisdictions. In the globalised digital economy, data can flow across borders in milliseconds. But the legal frameworks governing this data vary widely from one jurisdiction to another. If the UK, Europe and the US are characterised by robust data protection laws, so are many other countries, including the Nordics, Australia, India and China, to name a few.

In today's fast-paced digital world, where data breaches and geopolitical uncertainties are becoming more common, ensuring the security and sovereignty of your data is paramount. Organisations are increasingly seeking cloud solutions that not only offer advanced technological capabilities but also guarantee data compliance with local laws. Addressing this critical demand, Civo proudly introduces our UK Sovereign Cloud.
