- EU technological leaders want to get away from foreign property infrastructure
- Establishing a euro battery would increase competition and innovation
- EU companies want common standards and less bureaucracy
Several important European technological companies are pressing for a greater action of the European Union to reduce the dependence of the foreign property infrastructure block by buying and building locally.
In an open letter to the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the EU digital chief, Henna Virkkunen, around 100 organizations requested a greater adoption of applications, platforms, artificial intelligence models, chips, computing, storage and connectivity grown in the EU.
The measure occurs when the Trump administration is apparently positioned to burn an 80 -year relationship that the United States has had with Europe.
Develop the ‘Stack Euro’
The European digital sovereignty movement has gradually gained impulse in recent years, but has seen a mass increase in support and traction after the re -election of President Trump. Companies such as Airbus, Element, Ovhcloud, Murena, NextCloud and Proton have put their footprint when moving towards the EU digital sovereignty.
A role [PDF] Published in January 2025 by several Business Heads and Prominent Technology experts has given a certain view on how a “euro stack” would work: “The objective is to reduce the total dependence of Europe of non -European actors for service to citizens, companies and European institutions, to improve security, create redundancy and resilience, improve opportunities for innovation and digital competence while establishing rules of European government.”
Essentially, the European Union has become too dependent on the infrastructure of foreign property, especially the great technology of the USA., And if nothing is done soon, the EU countries will become subordinated to foreign technological companies.
Therefore, the solution is to promote growth in the home, with the letter stating: “The industry will invest if there are adequate demand perspectives.
Among the suggestions made on how to achieve a pile of euros are the plans for the development of common standards to help EU companies compete and defend against hyperscalers of the United States, establishing a “sovereign infrastructure fund” to publicly finance the new digital infrastructure in the EU, and promote innovation by reducing the portfolio loaders of the EU legislators.
