In a global context marked by rising geopolitical tensions, digital sovereignty has become a key strategic issue for Europe. This position paper, developed by SOFRECOM, highlights the challenges, stakes, and ongoing initiatives aimed at strengthening the European Union’s digital autonomy.

It particularly emphasizes the need to develop sovereign solutions in the areas of cloud computing, telecommunications, cybersecurity, and quantum technologies, while underscoring the importance of a coordinated approach among governments, businesses, and technology stakeholders. The analysis is based on a thorough assessment of the risks associated with dependence on foreign actors, as well as the opportunities presented by initiatives such as Gaia-X and SecNumCloud.

This new publication from SOFRECOM aims to raise awareness among all players in the European digital sector by offering a strategic vision to preserve sovereignty, secure infrastructure, and build trust among citizens and partners.

We hope this insight will contribute to ongoing discussions and encourage the implementation of concrete solutions for a more sovereign, resilient, and innovative digital future in Europe.
