European Commission plans to present Tech Sovereignty Package

The European Commission is preparing to present its Tech Sovereignty Package. The measures aim to reduce Europe's dependence on semiconductors, cloud services and AI.

Final details are still being worked on. In a few days the European Commission plans to present its package of measures.

The initiative is linked to the policies of US President Donald Trump. In Europe discussions are underway on how politics and business can become more independent from the USA and China.

The TECH by Handelsblatt conference is currently taking place in Heilbronn. Around 1800 participants are discussing paths to technological sovereignty.

“Strategically thinking means recognizing one's own weaknesses that a counterpart could exploit – but conversely also seeing the strengths that can be developed,” said Cathryn Clüver Ashbrook of the Bertelsmann Foundation.

The European Commission has proposed the Industrial Accelerator Act, a flagship “Made in EU” initiative that would tie parts of public procurement and support schemes to local-content and low‑carbon requirements in selected strategic sectors. China’s commerce ministry has criticized the plan as discriminatory and warned it could respond if Chinese companies’ interests are harmed.

The EU’s trade chief has confirmed the bloc is considering a specific rule to compel companies to diversify their suppliers away from China. The move follows Beijing’s use of export controls on critical materials.
