Despite its role as the frontrunner in regulating Big Tech, through regulations such as the Digital Services and Markets Act (DSA and DMA) and the AI Act, the European Union is at a crossroads in its digital transformation. Geopolitical tensions and growing reliance on foreign tech giants underscore the urgent need for greater technological sovereignty.

In this expert lunch roundtable, we explored the key recommendations from our policy study ‘Time to build a European ecosystem’, which outlines the critical steps the EU must take to reduce digital dependencies and create a resilient, autonomous, and socially inclusive digital framework. The study underscores the importance of enforcing existing digital regulations and creating a European Digital Industrial Policy (EDIP) to drive innovation and secure European values.
