Melchior Aelmans explored how emerging technologies are shaping the future of connectivity, innovation, security, and resilience. His session highlighted both the opportunities and challenges that AI, quantum technologies, and space innovation bring to the digital ecosystem. Which emerging technology do you think will have the biggest impact on digital infrastructure in the next decade? #MOREIP #AI #Quantum #SpaceTech #DigitalInfrastructure #Innovation #AMSIX

Reliable timing infrastructure is something most people never think about until it fails. Miguel Regalado Querol from AMS-IX and Reindert Hommes from Tallgrass explored the growing importance of accurate and resilient time dissemination infrastructure in the Netherlands. Their session highlighted how reliable timing and synchronization are essential for critical digital infrastructure, supporting everything from connectivity and financial systems to operational resilience and security. A strong reminder that resilient infrastructure depends on far more than connectivity alone. #MOREIP #DigitalInfrastructure #Connectivity #InternetResilience #AMSIX

Adrian Perrig highlighted how SCION is helping build a more secure, resilient and sovereign Internet. SCION offers highly available connectivity that is resistant to routing attacks, DDoS attacks and other network threats, while also enabling sovereign connectivity that cannot easily be switched off by external entities. The presentation explored trusted path selection, path transparency and multipath communication as key building blocks for the future of secure networking. #MOREIP #SCION #CyberSecurity #InternetResilience #DigitalSovereignty #AMSIX

Are we losing the original spirit of the Internet? That question sparked a thought provoking discussion during MORE IP 2026 with Martin Olij, Ludo Baauw, Simon de Jong and Eric Smit. The panel explored themes such as digital independence, openness, platform power, and the growing influence of politics and commercial interests on the online world. A conversation that raised important questions about the future of the Internet and the values it was originally built on. What do you think? Is the Internet becoming more open or more controlled? #MOREIP #Internet #DigitalFuture #DigitalIndependence

"Digital infrastructure has become essential to our economy, security, and society. Most people only notice it when it stops working.” During MORE IP 2026, Gijs Tuinman highlighted the growing importance of resilient digital infrastructure and digital sovereignty in an increasingly interconnected and geopolitically complex world. From cloud infrastructure and data networks to connectivity and strategic autonomy, the systems operating behind the scenes are becoming critical to Europe’s resilience and economic stability. What steps should Europe take to strengthen its digital autonomy? #MOREIP #DigitalInfrastructure #CyberSecurity #DigitalSovereignty #AMSIX

“Resilience is not only about protecting infrastructure - it is about building a digital foundation that allows essential services, communities and citizens in Ukraine to stay connected and operational under any circumstances.” – Elina & Taras One thing became clear during the MORE IP panel discussion: Europe’s digital infrastructure is no longer only about connectivity. It is about resilience, sovereignty, sustainability, and making smart long term choices. Stijn Grove, Elina Gansetska, and Taras Stetsenko shared valuable perspectives on how Europe can organize data and data centers in a smart, sovereign, and sustainable way while balancing innovation, energy demands, and national interests. How do you see the future of Europe’s digital infrastructure evolving? #MOREIP #DigitalInfrastructure #DataCenters #DigitalSovereignty #Sustainability

“AI is not only about technology. It is about people, trust, and the choices we make as society.” Vivianne Bendermacher explored the balance between hype, hope, and the human reality behind AI during her presentation at MORE IP 2026. Her session reflected on how AI is rapidly transforming industries and society, while also raising important questions around trust, human impact, and realistic expectations. As AI continues to evolve, understanding both the opportunities and limitations remains essential for building a responsible digital future. Are we underestimating or overestimating the impact AI will have in the coming years? #MOREIP #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalFuture #Innovation #AMSIX

MORE IP 2026 has officially kicked off!                                             Our CEO Peter van Burgel opened this year’s event with a clear message: digital infrastructure is no longer just technology, it powers our communication, healthcare, education, businesses and public services every single day. This year’s theme, “Building a Safe and Resilient Digital Future,” could not be more relevant. As AI accelerates data traffic growth, cyber threats become more advanced and geopolitical developments impact our digital ecosystems, collaboration across the Internet community has never been more important. The conversations taking place around cybersecurity, resilience, automation, sovereignty and interconnection will help shape the Internet of tomorrow. Together, we continue building a stronger and more resilient digital future. #MOREIP #AMSIX #DigitalInfrastructure #Connectivity #CyberSecurity #Internet #Resilience #Interconnection
