Summary
The European Commission has published a package of measures aimed at achieving "tech sovereignty" by reducing reliance on foreign technology, particularly in critical digital infrastructure like energy grids, water supplies, healthcare, and public transport. However, the proposals face significant challenges including limited funding, heavy reliance on private investment, and weak proposed regulations that may struggle to compete with global tech spending levels.
