The opening to Eurosky Live, setting the stage for a day of critical conversations about Europe's digital future.

Robin Berjon (Eurosky); Sebastian Vogelsang (Eurosky / Flashes)

This session breaks down what AT Protocol and Eurosky are, explaining how these technologies could reshape the future of social media and the open social web. Learn how open, decentralized infrastructure can return control of data and identity to users and create real competition in the digital ecosystem. The session will also feature new features of Flashes, a visual-first social app that’s the launch partner for Eurosky’s infrastructure.

Heike Raab, Representative of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate and Coordinator of the Broadcasting Commission of the German States

In this opening keynote, Heike Raab will address how sovereign digital infrastructure shapes Europe's public discourse and democratic resilience. As platform power increasingly concentrates control over media and information, she will explore the role regional and national governments must play in ensuring a fair, transparent, and accessible technological ecosystem.

Alexandra Geese (European Parliament); Felix Styma (iconomy); Brandi Geurkink (Coalition for Independent Technology Research); Moderated by Gauri Van Gulik (Better Politics Fund)

This panel explores how technology infrastructure can strengthen democratic participation, prevent platform manipulation, and foster more meaningful digital interactions. What could a new social contract for the web look like—one grounded in openness, accountability, and civic trust?

Boris Mann (AT Community Fund Lead) 

The EuroCloud aims to build hardware infrastructure and cloud services, in order to host and build apps on top for EU citizens and the world. In the same way, the open AT Protocol provides building blocks from accounts, to personal storage, to custom data that powers apps from small to large. What are the opportunities for building the next generation of EU designed & hosted apps?
