Europe’s tech sovereignty push signals a bold leap into AI and data power

The EU’s tech sovereignty package marks a shift from defensive regulation to proactive innovation, aiming to triple EU data-center capacity with about €200bn of mostly private investment, boost chip manufacturing and cheaper energy, promote open-source AI to accelerate adoption and reduce US software spend, and seed a €5bn Scaleup Europe Fund to mobilize VC. Europe remains dependent on US tech but has strong science and startups in materials, pharma and robotics that could scale with deeper market integration and faster public procurement reforms, positioning the region for faster AI-driven growth.

Europe’s balancing act: building tech sovereignty without strangling access

The FT View argues Europe must pursue tech sovereignty carefully: nurture European tech capabilities and control over critical tech through measures like a Cloud and AI Development Act and revised Chips Act, while avoiding measures that cut off access to leading US providers or invite retaliation. The plan would include sovereignty risk assessments, preferring EU-made software/hardware for the most sensitive contracts (level 4), and boosting cross-border investment and a unified single market to help European firms scale. In short, Europe should create the conditions for European champions without protectionist baggage that could undermine competitiveness or provoke a pushback from the US.

Trump’s threats and weaponized dependence underscored Europe’s vulnerability to U.S. digital infrastructure, prompting Brussels to push a tech-sovereignty package that prioritizes private investment, open-source alternatives, and domestic chip manufacturing, while avoiding a full decoupling and leaving key decisions to national governments.
