At MTL connect 2026, <em>Donn\u00e9es souveraines Qu\u00e9bec (DSQ)<\/em> will host two landmark events designed to move the conversation from awareness to action.<\/p><p>On October 13, during the opening keynote, \u201cQuebec\u2019s Digital Emancipation: Insights and a Roadmap for Sovereignty,\u201d Paul Allard, President of DSQ, will unveil an unprecedented assessment of Quebec\u2019s digital sovereignty landscape. For the first time in Canada, attendees will gain a clear picture of the technological and economic dependencies shaping our digital ecosystem and their implications for organizations, institutions, and citizens alike.<\/p><p>More importantly, the conference will mark the official launch of the DSQ Roadmap, a strategic action plan developed with the contribution of more than 35 experts and industry leaders. Moving beyond diagnosis, the roadmap presents practical pathways to strengthen Quebec\u2019s digital autonomy, support local innovation, and build a more resilient and trustworthy digital economy.<\/p><p>The conversation continues on October 14 with the DSQ Forum, an event dedicated to exploring the future of digital sovereignty. Bringing together experts, decisionmakers, innovators, and public sector leaders, the forum will address key issues including artificial intelligence, data governance, cybersecurity, and technological independence.<\/p><p>Confirmed speakers include <strong>Samuel Paccoud<\/strong>, <strong>Oph\u00e9lie Coelho<\/strong>, <strong>Cristina Caffarra<\/strong>, <strong>Simona Levi<\/strong>, and <strong>Frederick Dixon<\/strong>, internationally recognized voices who will share experiences and perspectives on digital sovereignty initiatives from across Europe and North America.<\/p><p>Together, these two events offer more than a discussion about technology. They are an invitation to rethink how we build, govern, and protect our digital future. As societies become increasingly dependent on digital infrastructure, the question is no longer whether digital sovereignty matters, but how we can collectively achieve it.<\/p><p><strong>Join DSQ at MTL connect on October 13 and 14 to explore practical solutions and help shape a more autonomous, resilient, and prosperous digital future for Quebec<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital sovereignty is no longer a niche topic reserved for experts.
