Policy debates over digital sovereignty remain at the forefront of Europe’s technology agenda. Recent months have seen an upsurge in legislative initiatives and strategic discussions aimed at breaking the overwhelming hold that US-based hyperscalers—AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—have established over national digital infrastructure. In the UK, lawmakers have introduced measures calling on the government to both support indigenous technology firms and publish a comprehensive digital sovereignty strategy, with binding requirements across the public sector [1]. The European Parliament, too, has mobilized to create long-term institutions for guiding digital strategy and establishing sovereign cloud, AI, and data infrastructure that is explicitly free from foreign control. Remarks from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at a recent Berlin summit crystallized these ambitions: Europe intends to shape technology in alignment with its interests and foster genuine competition, rather than acquiesce to economic dependencies or unilateral shifts imposed by extra-continental tech giants.
