EU to support European alternatives to US-dominated software and services, in major push for ‘technological sovereignty’

• The EU appears to be concerned about the resilience and continuity of US technologies amid ongoing tensions
• Data center capacity could triple in five to seven years thanks to streamlined processes
• The attack on sovereignty would also be mitigated thanks to a stricter framework

We are already experiencing years of antitrust investigations and strict regulation in the European Union, and critics have claimed that the Commission has imposed heavy fines and penalties on foreign technology providers to promote European technological sovereignty in recent years.

However, the European Commission has now gone further and will actively fund and promote European technological alternatives.
