The European Commission recently presented the European Technological Sovereignty Package, a set of measures intended to strengthen Europe's capacity in semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud and open source: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_1187
EU countries' current reliance on non-European digital infrastructure – including cloud computing, AI, microchips, software and data centres – carries substantial economic risks in the medium term.
By securing critical supply chains (such as advanced semiconductors), scaling local cloud data centres and funding open source alternatives, the EU's technological sovereignty package will substantially reduce economic risks in the medium term.
By securing critical supply chains (such as advanced semiconductors), scaling local cloud data centres and funding open source alternatives, the EU's technological sovereignty package will substantially increase the long-term productivity and innovation capacity of European tech firms.
