“In light of recent geopolitical shifts and policy developments, Europe’s need to assert its technological sovereignty has become a strategic priority. In this context, initiatives such as EuroStack – designed to build a robust, homegrown digital ecosystem aligned with European core values of democracy, privacy, and sustainability – are gaining significant political traction and cross-sectoral support. Creating a European tech infrastructure and supporting local capacity across the digital value chain is not just a strategic choice— it’s essential to ensure that the digital products and services we rely on are built to meet European regulatory standards and serve European interests.”
