EUREL eMeetup on Technological sovereignty

27 January 14:00-15:30

Topic description

Technological sovereignty as a core objective of the EU was introduced by European Commission President Von der Leyen in 2019 when she presented her guidelines. Achieving objectives such as climate and environmental protection, digitalization in the framework of the social market economy and data protection depends on the availability of suitable technologies. Technological sovereignty for Europe took an even bigger scale when the coronavirus pandemic hit severely our European economy, showing how dependent we were from countries outside the EU and how critical it is that the EU get strategic autonomy in some specific domains.

This year EUREL published a study led by VDE ITG to discuss the concept of technological sovereignty, analyzing which prerequisites are necessary to obtain or recover technological sovereignty, and to define specific recommendations particularly for the essential field of technology “Information and Communications Technology” (ICT).

The keynote speech will present the findings of the study and give a state of play to open the exchange between our panelists on this highly important topic for the electrotechnical, electronics and ICT industry.
