Open Future is one of the signatories of an open letter issued by a large number of European Technology Companies and Industry Associations that calls for a strong commitment to sovereign digital infrastructure. The letter to Commission President van der Leyen, which has been coordinated by the EuroStack Initiative) argues that it is time for radical action to transform Europe’s tech sovereignty ambition into concrete actions.
Among the actions demanded by the signatories are actions to create demand for European digital infrastructure offerings by introducing a “formal requirement for the public sector to ‘Buy European’”, thereby creating markers for sovereign infrastructure solutions that can offer alternatives to big tech.
Another demand contained in the letter is the creation of a Sovereign Infrastructure Fund to support public investments in essential public infrastructure solutions.
We are encouraged by these ideas, which have been central to our own work in the Public Digital Infrastructure area, gaining traction within key industry sectors. You can find the full text of the letter here:
