Communication on European Tech Sovereignty, and an EU Open-Source Strategy
Source: Hacker News
The Commission is proposing the European Technological Sovereignty Package, marking a change in Europe’s approach to its tech ecosystems.
The Commission is putting forward a multi-pronged, comprehensive strategy to achieve technological sovereignty, with initiatives that are interconnected and mutually reinforcing across each stage of the value chain, from chips, to infrastructure, to software, cloud and AI, and in synergy with past and ongoing initiatives such as AI Factories and AI Gigafactories.
This is reflected in four initiatives:
-
The Chips Act 2.0 to strengthen the semiconductor ecosystem and supply chain resilience, and boost domestic demand
-
The Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) to unlock the potential AI and cloud, to transform our industrial ecosystems and improve societal outcomes
-
The EU Open Source Strategy to reduce dependencies across the entire technology stack
