Digital sovereignty isn’t just about buying European software - it’s about control, choice and avoiding lock-in.

Open source + open standards let governments operate independently, switch vendors, and keep control over critical tech.

Europe has strong open source foundations, but they’re underfunded. More investment in interoperable, open technologies would boost resilience and EU economic impact.

Open source is key to Europe’s digital sovereignty

Digital sovereignty isn’t about buying European software - it’s about control and choice. Open source and open standards give governments the ability to operate independently, avoid vendor lock-in, and switch providers when needed. That’s real sovereignty.

In my experience open APIs are always forgotten! This is maybe even more important than software, because it allows for interoperability.
