The ITAD sector beyond recycling or asset disposition — A strategic enabler of digital sovereignty, competitiveness, and sustainability
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) companies can do more than manage end‑of‑life hardware — they can be strategic partners in Europe’s drive for digital sovereignty. By guaranteeing robust data security, adopting common standards, and enabling longer equipment lifecycles through independent maintenance and verified secondary markets, ITAD providers turn reuse into a measurable competitive advantage. This panel will explore how ITAD services can reduce OEM dependencies, lower total cost of ownership, and deliver tangible sustainability and resilience benefits for public and private sector buyers.
