The event, held on Tuesday, October 20, was organized by AthenaLab, Casa de América, the Embassy of Chile in Spain, and the Chile-Spain Foundation, and brought together authorities, diplomatic representatives, and specialists in security, technology, and digital transformation.
The day featured remarks from the director of Casa de América, Ambassador León de la Torre; the Ambassador of Chile in Spain, Juan Antonio Coloma; the chairman of the AthenaLab Board, Nicolás Ibáñez; and the president of the Chile-Spain Foundation, Rafael Mateo.
Additionally, Javier Candau, Deputy Director General of the National Cryptologic Center of Spain, and Ville Sirviö, Executive Director of the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions, an institution founded by Estonia and Finland that develops X-Road, a fundamental platform for the functioning of the Estonian digital state, participated.
The book addresses digital sovereignty as a strategic challenge for states, examining the capabilities, institutions, and decisions necessary to build and protect it. Through international experiences, including those of Spain and Estonia, the author emphasizes the importance of having a secure digital architecture, strong institutions, and a long-term vision in the face of technological challenges.
The meeting concluded with a presentation by Kenneth Pugh, who outlined the main arguments of his book, published in October, which is Cybersecurity Month in Chile.
