Smart Country Convention 2026

Using AI securely and confidently: from intelligent AI agents to high-performance cloud infrastructure based in Germany – discover solutions for modern AI applications, secure data processing and digital sovereignty in the public sector.

AI agents for administration

Bespoke AI agents automate interactions with citizens and customers across all channels. Deployment via T Cloud Public and Telekom’s operations combine modern conversational AI with European data sovereignty – from design through to support.

T Cloud

T Cloud offers robust cloud infrastructures for sensitive and business-critical workloads. T Cloud Public adds a European option to multi-cloud environments; the Industrial AI Cloud provides computing power for the development and operation of sophisticated AI applications.

AI power from the sovereign cloud

The Industrial AI Cloud provides public sector clients with a sovereign AI infrastructure based in Germany. Up to 10,000 GPUs, T Cloud Public and AI & Data Services form a secure end-to-end stack for specialist applications, LLMs, RAG and data-intensive AI.

Making public administration simpler, more digital and more efficient: automated processes, digital services and new platform-based approaches demonstrate how public administrations can modernise their services and better reach citizens.

Digital personnel processes for administration: Simple. Effizient. Future-proof.

From digital applications to AI, robotics and workflow platforms: DTSE comprehensively digitises and automates administrative and service processes. Transformation backed by real-world experience, high security standards and flexible services reduce manual effort and boost efficiency.

From a government department to a digital service

One-stop digital government solutions: Deutsche Telekom combines consultancy, development, robust platforms and secure operations. This results in scalable services that work in the long term, reduce dependencies and strengthen the public sector’s capacity for digital action.

Digital administration. End-to-end implementation and operation

Operational Services combines cloud, security, digitalisation and IT operations into a comprehensive solution for the public sector. This results in secure, reliable IT from a single source – backed by the technology and the right experts.

Digital sovereignty for public sector contracting authorities

How public sector organisations can combine digital sovereignty, resilience and innovation: this exhibition showcases holistic platform strategies and sovereign collaboration solutions developed with Telekom and Cisco – including recommendations for action.

Advice on digital sovereignty

Detecon combines strategy, sector expertise and technological know-how to drive the transformation of the public sector. Its focus is on the Germany-App, cybersecurity, civil security, digital sovereignty and intelligent situational awareness – all linked to corporate-wide initiatives.

A workplace where you’re in control

Sovereign open-source workstations for the public sector: SovereignDesk, openDesk and BundesMessenger offer vendor-neutral solutions. Telekom complements these with hosting and managed services on a sovereign cloud and network infrastructure.

Holistic IT protection: AI-powered cyber defence, zero trust and sovereign security solutions strengthen the resilience of public authorities and critical infrastructure – using European operational and data models.

Sovereign cyber security from Europe for Europe 

The exhibit demonstrates a 360° approach to protecting the public sector.

Cyber Defence with Palo Alto Networks

Sovereign Cortex with T Security combines AI-powered SOC technology with European data processing and independent key control. Zero Trust, cross-organisational situational awareness and automation strengthen cyber resilience in the public sector and at KRITIS organisations.

Staying connected when it matters most: Secure networks, resilient site connections and prioritised broadband communications provide a reliable communications infrastructure for public administration, emergency services and critical infrastructure.

Secure Networking

Secure networking lays the foundations for digital sovereignty: public authorities connect sites, clouds and specialist systems via a secure, high-performance network comprising data connections, SD-WAN, SASE/SSE and cloud connectivity – tailored to the desired level of sovereignty.

Network resilience with KRITIS Connect

KRITIS Connect connects critical sites via a hardened Layer 2 point-to-point connection with speeds of 10 or 100 Gbit/s. 72 hours of protection against power failures enhances the resilience of the communications infrastructure and supports KRITIS/NIS2 requirements.

Critically networked with T Mission for operational purposes

T Mission enhances TETRA with broadband, prioritised communication via 4G/5G. Emergency services can securely exchange voice, video, images, GPS and sensor data. Telekom provides a one-stop solution for public safety organisations and critical infrastructure operators, combining network, platform, devices, security and operations.

Using data intelligently for cities and infrastructure: the IoT, sensor technology, AI and digital platforms are enabling new applications – from early-warning systems and mobility to the digital coordination of volunteers.

Secure IoT connectivity

Secure IoT connectivity combines smart metering, precise positioning and satellite connectivity with solutions for decentralised infrastructure. Use cases range from water and plant monitoring to early warning systems for heavy rainfall and digital construction supervision.

Mobility

Road & Mobility showcases digital building blocks for connected mobility: Mobilithek, fibre sensing, AI-based geomodels and managed automated driving. Discover how data, sensor technology and AI support transport and infrastructure applications.

Coordinate spontaneous help digitally with KatHelfer

KatHelfer makes it possible to plan for spontaneous assistance: BOS registers, alerts and coordinates volunteer helpers digitally, and integrates with existing apps, messaging services and incident command software. On the live system, you can experience the process from the initial offer of help right through to the operation.
