The coalition, including Airbus, Proton, and OVHCloud, warns Europe “will lose out on digital innovation” and become almost completely dependent on non-European technologies “in less than three years at current rates.”
The group calls for public procurement requirements mandating European-made tech solutions, development of common standards, and creation of a “Sovereign Infrastructure Fund” for capital-intensive areas like chips and quantum computing. “Our reliance on non-European technologies will become almost complete in less than three years at current rates,” the letter states, citing concerns over U.S. technological dominance following recent comments from Vice President JD Vance criticizing European regulations.
