The European Commission has presented the European Technological Sovereignty Package, a set of measures to strengthen Europe's capacity in semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud and open source.
The package includes two legislative proposals - the Chips Act 2.0 and the Cloud and AI Development Act - as well as the Open Source Strategy and a Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI in Energy.
Together, these measures support Europe's ambition to become an AI continent, strengthen its digital autonomy and help build a more sustainable digital future. They will help widen choice in core technologies for EU businesses, citizens and public administrations.
The move comes as Europe remains heavily dependent on suppliers outside the European Union for core digital technologies and as demand for computing capacity rises sharply with the spread of AI. It is designed to reduce structural dependencies and make sure Europe can develop, deploy and secure the technologies Europeans rely on. It signals a major shift in the EU's approach to technology.
Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen said:
“We cannot afford to depend on others for the technologies that keep our hospitals running, our energy grids stable and our services secure. This is about protecting our citizens, defending our interests and making our own choices. Europe has the talent, the research excellence, the industrial base and the Single Market. Together, we must turn these strengths into technological sovereignty.”
