EU countries are homeshoring their digital stacks as fast as they possibly can, and the reason is precisely because of the pressure that the US government is exerting via its (temporary) dominance in technology.


That’s really something that has to be seen, we (European countries) talk a lot about sovereign software but have very little to show for it. Things are moving but it’s still mostly a political posturing more than anything else. Might be different in a few years

I dislike the term "sovereign software" because it collapses every aspect of the discussion. It is intentionally dumb, a slogan.

But now that politicians have waved their slogan around, perhaps some actions can be taken.
