Masterpieces your Digital Sovereignty
Sovereignty is KEY
Digital sovereignty is crucial for Europe as it ensures control over critical digital infrastructure and reduces dependency on foreign providers. This dependency exposes European data to foreign laws and risks, undermining the region's data privacy and security. By building its own cloud infrastructure, Europe can achieve strategic autonomy, avoiding vulnerabilities related to geopolitical tensions. Furthermore, cloud sovereignty promotes economic growth by fostering innovation and empowering local providers. It also enhances cybersecurity resilience, ensuring robust protections against cyber threats tailored to European standards.

The Role of the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud
Launched by the EC in 2021 under the direct sponsorship of Commissioner Thierry Breton, the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud aims to support those objectives. This initiative brings together representatives from Member States, key EU industry players, and field experts to advise the EC on how to define policies and initiatives that can speed up Europe’s digital transition. This unique forum is producing relevant technology roadmaps, specific recommendations on investment priorities, and public procurement guidelines for cloud services.
The EU industry is playing a pivotal role in this process, providing essential input for defining high-impact investment actions on cloud and edge computing under European R&D programs like Horizon Europe. This ensures an alignment with the strategies and needs of the EU cloud and technology providers. One notable achievement, in that sense, was the updated European Industrial Technology Roadmap for the Next-Generation Cloud-Edge, submitted to the EC by the Cloud-Edge Working Group of the EU Cloud Alliance in July 2023.
Investing in a European Cloud Ecosystem
Investing in a European Cloud Ecosystem to achieve digital sovereignty, Europe must build a competitive cloud infrastructure that can stand alongside global leaders. This requires a strong commitment to supporting European cloud providers and collaborative initiatives like GAIA-X, which aim to create a trusted and interoperable cloud environment. Such an ecosystem will offer European businesses a secure alternative, tailored to local requirements and capable of ensuring technological independence.
Supporting European Industry through Cloud Sovereignty
Supporting European Industry through Cloud Sovereignty goes beyond data protection; it’s a lever that enables European businesses to innovate and compete globally. Secure, sovereign cloud infrastructures are essential to supporting key sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and public services. By investing in a European cloud, Europe strengthens its industries against international competition and provides local businesses with a reliable foundation for developing advanced technologies.
A Roadmap for European Cloud Sovereignty
A Roadmap for European Cloud Sovereignty to achieve digital sovereignty by 2030, Europe must create a favorable regulatory framework, strengthen public-private partnerships, and make strategic investments in innovative cloud technologies. This roadmap involves concrete actions for governments and businesses: supporting regulation, promoting collaborative projects, and prioritizing technological investments. By focusing on innovation and security, Europe is setting itself up to ensure digital autonomy and build a resilient infrastructure ready for future challenges.
