European Union to unveil four-pillar technology sovereignty package on June 3 (xataka.com)

• Commission to present revised Chips Act and Cloud and AI Development Act, plus open-source strategy and energy digitalization roadmap.
• Cloud stress tests to detect vulnerabilities; Chips Act 2 allows Commission to override semiconductor supply contracts in emergency.
• EU to promote European open-source software as alternative to US proprietary software.
• €200bn needed for data center capacity by 2036, €20bn for energy digitalization, primarily from private investment.
• Three US cloud providers hold 70% of EU market vs 15% European.
• Previous chip projects fragmented (Germany-Intel, France-STMicroelectronics); package risks same fragmentation.

"The European Commission will present on June 3 a package including revised Chips Act and Cloud and AI Development Act, an open-source software strategy, and a roadmap for energy sector digitalization. Measures include cloud stress tests, emergency semiconductor supply override powers, promotion of European open-source software, and €200bn investment in data centers by 2036. The package aims to reduce dependencies on US and Chinese technology, but faces risks of fragmentation and insufficient industrial ecosystem."
