"The European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud" aims to foster the development and deployment of next generation edge and cloud technologies." The Alliance brings together businesses, Member States representatives and experts. "The work of the Alliance is facilitated by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology #DGConnect."

A new thematic roadmap was released on 8 July 2025. This 68-page document proposes and details an action plan to position open source software as a pillar of the Union's strategy for strengthening its technological autonomy vis-à-vis non-European players.

The report starts by noting Europe's dependence in the cloud, edge and IoT sectors, and proposes 70 actions to try to remedy the situation. The most significant measures include:
• the introduction of a public procurement policy that systematically favours European open source solutions,
• the creation of a dedicated funding vehicle for critical projects,
• the application of open interoperability standards to counter vendor lock-in.

Alexandre Roure of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, whose members include many Big Tech groups, says the debate about blunt market access restrictions for non-EU tech companies “only distracts policymakers from the real task: finally delivering a functioning digital single market with clear, simple and practical rules”.

In private conversations, several Big Tech lobbyists and executives also express confidence in their ability to continue dominating the European market given the paucity of homegrown alternatives and the lack of urgency among many consumers.

Global AI development reflects different approaches to technological sovereignty and democratic participation in innovation.

Open source model releases enable distributed development vs centralized corporate control.

Community-driven development preserves technological autonomy.

We are a very digital society in Denmark, this is generally a very good thing, but not when the banks decide we *must* use Google to log in to our accounts... Absolutely agree with Jeppe Bundsgaard here #TechSovereignty #privacy jyllands-posten.dk/debat/breve/...

The paper just published by @netzpolitik_feed shows: financing is a major issue for #OpenSource, but administrations need to invest anyways: Windows 10 is at end of life this year and contracts become artificially more expensive because of AI features – public procurement is the primary lever for #Europe’s sovereign tech #stack! #techsovereignty

The recent EDA ban on China by Washington could be a catalyst for Europe to advance in open hardware. FPGAs offer flexibility and cost-efficiency, making them ideal for prototyping and innovation. With the right investment, Europe could lead the way in technological sovereignty. fossforce.com/2025/06/as-eda-b
