Digital Trade, European Sovereignty and Sustainable Partnerships
The digital transformation is reshaping global trade. The decisions Europe makes today will define competitiveness, stability and technological independence for the future. At the x4in summit 2025 in Prague, we discussed these developments with Bernd Lange, Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade.

For online use, we condensed the 20-minute conversation to its key statements.
The conversation focused on the opportunities of digital trade agreements, the importance of reliable partnerships and the question of how innovation and regulation can be kept in balance. We also addressed the need for sustainable frameworks that encourage responsibility without placing additional burdens on businesses and society.
Another core topic was Europe’s role in an increasingly digital world. Data sovereignty, modern infrastructure and technological independence were highlighted as essential factors for competitiveness and long-term stability.
Mr. Lange, thank you very much for this insightful and engaging discussion.
