Europe is pushing for Digital Sovereignty to reduce dependence on American tech companies: What exactly is Digital Sovereignty

Europe is pushing for Digital Sovereignty to reduce its dependence on American technology companies, and recently, the European Parliament backed a report calling for “European technological sovereignty.” Members of the European Parliament (MEP) urged the European Commission to accelerate regulatory reforms and major investments in digital infrastructure. The report targets critical sectors including cloud computing, semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI).

Rapporteur MEP Sarah Knafo (ESN/FRA) said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) noted that while some of the findings and measures were softened, this a vital step toward “shielding European digital infrastructure” from foreign actors.
