On June 3rd, the European Commission published its Technological Sovereignty Package, marking a significant evolution in EU digital and industrial policy. The package combines a revised Chips Act (Chips Act 2.0), the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA), an Open Source Strategy, and a Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI in Energy.

The package is based on four key pillars:

  1. Completing the semiconductor equation, including demand-side measures and a €30 billion advanced foundry for 3nm chips and below.
  2. Accelerating cloud and AI infrastructure, with a target to triple EU data centre capacity within 5–7 years and introduce structured sovereignty framework.
  3. Redirecting public sector IT spending, through an “open source-first” principle and sovereignty risk assessments, targeting €264 billion in annual spending.
  4. Integrating the technology stack, linking semiconductors, infrastructure, and AI through initiatives such as AI Gigafactories.
