Looking beyond the tech sovereignty package: how the EU is moving to ensure tech sector resilience
The European Commission released a 'tech sovereignty' package in June 2026, and the EU's broader push to reduce dependence on foreign technology and protect digital infrastructure from outside interference extends well beyond that single bundle of measures.
Why this matters: Tech sovereignty sounds like trade policy. In practice it shapes which cloud services governments use, which AI systems process public data, and how much influence non-EU companies have over critical infrastructure. That affects everyday people who interact with public services, use European platforms, or work in sectors the EU decides need protecting. The resilience rules coming out of Brussels will set real limits on what foreign providers can offer here. Watch which companies get squeezed out and which ones shape the rules on the way in.
