Securing the semiconductor base for Europe’s AI ambition; building Europe’s cloud and AI capacity; strengthening digital autonomy through open source; and digitalising Europe’s energy system while ensuring sustainable digitalisation. The European Commission has today presented the “European Technological Sovereignty Package”, which includes a set of measures to strengthen Europe’s capacity in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, cloud and open source. European 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”. 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. Before adoption and entry into force, the legislative proposals will have to be negotiated by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.
