DIY or die. Just don't let the CIA buy it
The EU is increasingly vocal about its desire for digital independence, and recent geopolitical events highlight the vulnerabilities of relying on foreign technology stacks.
A strategic reader should care because this push for digital sovereignty could lead to the development of robust, independent technology infrastructure within the EU, impacting global tech markets and supply chains.
The perceived 'boo-boo' of previous digital dependencies is now reframed as a catalyst for self-reliance, potentially accelerating European-centric tech development and adoption.

The EU will likely increase investments in domestic digital infrastructure and software development.
This could lead to a 'fragmentation' of the global internet and digital services landscape, with regionalized tech ecosystems.
Long-term, it may foster a new era of innovation within the EU, potentially creating global tech challengers.
