The European Commission released on June 3, 2026 its long-awaited “Tech Sovereignty Package“

A strategic package built around 4 interconnected initiatives to reduce Europe’s technological dependencies:

1.Chips Act 2.0

2.Cloud & AI Development Act

3.EU Open Source Strategy

4.Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation & AI in Energy

1. Chips Act 2.0

• Despite the progress made by Chips Act 1.0 (€52B invested and 46,000 jobs created), Europe still depends on third countries for advanced chip manufacturing
• Chips Act 2.0 proposal addresses this through investment and competitiveness, demand stimulation, supply reinforcement and resilience
• Semiconductor market projected at €1.37 trillion by 2030, with AI driving 70% of growth

2. Cloud & AI Development Act

• Europe’s cloud infrastructure is largely dependent on non-EU providers, limiting its digital autonomy
• The proposed CADA Act focuses on 3 main areas: Research & Innovation, Capacity and Autonomy
• Cloud and AI providers can be recognised by Member States after undergoing an audit on a 4-level sovereignty framework

3. EU Open Source Strategy

• Despite its potential, the European open source ecosystem faces structural challenges: limited funding, fragmented visibility and dependence on dominant non-EU technology providers
• The EU strategy covers the full lifecycle of open source, from R&D to market deployment, with 4 objectives: tech sovereignty, vibrant ecosystem, open source in public administration and international outreach

4. Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation & AI in Energy

• AI and digital tools are key to decarbonising Europe’s energy system but their large-scale deployment raises new challenges around governance, data and energy consumption
• The roadmap targets 3 priority areas: electricity grid optimisation, energy efficiency in buildings and industry and demand-side flexibility
• The EU Commission launched a tripartite agreement model between data centre operators, energy parties and public authorities
