Discover our portfolio in our themed world.
Have you ever thought about a citizen or public-sector avatar? A robust infrastructure that offers you maximum security and stability? Or a secure and scalable administrative assistant? In our thematic sections, we show you in a practical way how digitalisation can be easily implemented in local authorities, government departments and ministries.
Sovereignty.
Using specific examples, we demonstrate how digital sovereignty is a key prerequisite for the resilience of public administration, economic stability and the capacity for development. We also explain why digital sovereignty is not limited solely to technological systems, but equally encompasses operational and strategic aspects.
Resilience.
Whether you have questions about identity, endpoint and/or data security, Depp Fake AI, emergency management or the benefits of an ad hoc emergency data centre – with us, you’ll discover how to protect yourself effectively against cybercrime. And you’ll learn what a vital role employees play in safeguarding against online threats.
Efficiency.
We present practical, ready-to-use solutions for public administration, smart cities, education and the healthcare sector, and bring them to life. In addition, we demonstrate how AI can enable smart and reliable document analysis in specialist processes, how XR technology can be used to explore careers virtually, and how AI can be used to transform documents into valuable, structured information.
Agenda Speaker Corner.
Under the theme “The Future in Dialogue,” we’ve once again been able to bring a wide range of renowned experts to our booth this year to give presentations. Here you’ll find an overview of our Speaker Corner.

Workshop Special:
“Sovereign AI in the public sector: maintaining control, accelerating innovation”
Tuesday, 13 October 2026, from 1.30 pm to 3.00 pm.
Hardly any other area of technology is currently evolving as rapidly as AI. At the same time, recent discussions and incidents show that a lack of control over data, models and processes can quickly become a risk.
The workshop examines the key questions behind the hype: What role do sovereign data centres, on-premises AI, open source and confidential AI play? What risks arise from new agent-based AI systems? And which architectural and operational models lay the foundations for the secure, resilient and sovereign use of AI in the public sector?
Our experts from Dell Technologies, Intel, NVIDIA and Bechtle provide practical guidance for strategic decisions rather than making yet more technological promises.
They will be provided with a practical framework for addressing the question of how AI can be operated securely, sovereignly and sustainably within public authorities – including specific areas for action, potential stumbling blocks and proven solutions.
