The European Commission today presented the European Technological Sovereignty Package, a set of measures to strengthen Europe's digital autonomy and resilience.

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.
