The Tech Sovereignty Catalogue is Europe’s showcase of trusted digital solutions.
What is the Tech Sovereignty Catalogue?
The Tech Sovereignty Catalogue is Europe’s showcase of trusted digital solutions. It brings together innovators in cloud, connectivity, cybersecurity, data, and AI, offering a clear picture of the technologies that strengthen Europe’s digital independence.
By presenting sovereign-by-design solutions and revealing new opportunities for collaboration, the Catalogue connects businesses with decision-makers and raises Europe’s profile as a global tech leader.
Building Europe’s digital independence:
The story behind the Tech Sovereignty Catalogue
The concept of technological sovereignty should be centred around Europe’s ability to control its digital future by fostering homegrown innovation, reducing dependencies on foreign technology providers, and ensuring a fair, competitive digital ecosystem.
Europe’s current reliance on non-European technologies – especially from the US and China – poses both economic and geopolitical risks.
Why European Digital Sovereignty Matters
With over 80% of digital products, services, and infrastructure being imported, the EU faces challenges in maintaining control over critical technologies such as AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity.
As global tech power concentrates in non-European hands, Europe’s need for digital sovereignty — to build, control, and trust its own technologies — has never been greater.
Technological sovereignty should be seen as a way to ensure “freedom of choice” to European citizens, which would otherwise be locked in non-European technologies.
From Dependency to Resilience: The Role of the Catalogue
By highlighting trusted, home-grown technologies, the Catalogue strengthens Europe’s digital resilience, reduces dependency on foreign providers, and empowers everyone to choose, buy, and build European.
Be part of this movement, share your solution, and join the community shaping Europe’s digital future.
