The rising geopolitical tensions are expected to drive the growth of the digital sovereignty for policymaker market in the coming years. Geopolitical tensions refer to conflicts, rivalries, or strained relationships between countries or regions arising from differences in political interests, economic power, security concerns, territorial disputes, or ideological positions, often influencing international cooperation, trade, technology access, and strategic policymaking.
