Based on data from the European Commission, the EU is currently dependent on imports from abroad for more than 80% of digital products, services, and infrastructures. This ever-increasing one-sided dependency on large tech companies – primarily from the USA and China – must be seen as a clear call to action for the new EU Commission. After all, they are not only alarming for Europe as a business location. They also make us politically vulnerable. The consequences of such dependency have already been demonstrated to us in the energy sector.
