European Tech Industry Coalition Calls for Radical Action on Digital Sovereignty

A broad coalition from the European tech industry is calling for "radical action" from EU legislators to reduce dependence on foreign digital infrastructures and services. The aim is to strengthen the economic outlook, resilience, and security of the bloc in an increasingly tense geopolitical context. In an open letter to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the coalition emphasizes the importance of buying local to achieve greater digital autonomy. This initiative aims to promote the use of technologies and services developed in Europe to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and thus improve the continent's digital security and sovereignty.
