By
Alexander Martin
Summary
The European Commission has proposed a comprehensive legislative package aimed at reducing the EU's technological dependence on US and Chinese suppliers. The initiative includes two draft laws — a Chips Act 2.0 and a Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) — along with an Open Source Strategy and a roadmap for digitalizing the energy system. The proposals target semiconductors, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and open-source software, representing what EU tech lead Henna Virkkunen called a major strategic shift toward technological sovereignty. The package addresses growing concerns that Europe's reliance on foreign technology has become a security vulnerability.
