The European Commission today presented the European Technological Sovereignty Package, a set of measures to strengthen Europe's digital autonomy and resilience.
The package includes two legislative proposals - the Chips Act 2.0 and the Cloud and AI Development Act - as well as the Open Source Strategy and a Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI in Energy. Together, these measures support Europe's ambition to become an AI continent, strengthen its digital autonomy and help build a more sustainable digital future. They will help widen choice in core technologies for EU businesses, citizens and public administrations. The move comes as Europe remains heavily dependent on suppliers outside the European Union for core digital technologies and as demand for computing capacity rises sharply with the spread of AI. It is designed to reduce structural dependencies and make sure Europe can develop, deploy and secure the technologies Europeans rely on. It signals a major shift in the EU's approach to technology.
The IndiaAI Mission aims to build a comprehensive ecosystem that fosters AI innovation by democratizing computing access, enhancing data quality, developing indigenous AI capabilities, attracting top AI talent, enabling industry collaboration, providing startup risk capital, ensuring socially impactful AI projects, and promoting ethical AI.
Policy decisions on and resource allocations for IEM tend to be made with inadequate data. The focus of the IDS programme is to coordinate a transboundary effort to develop indigenous data with indigenous stewardship.
The AI Factory is a large-scale initiative led by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS), designed to position Europe at the forefront of global AI development, and deployment.
