Flanders built an open-source alternative: shared standards and reusable components that let independent systems synchronise data without making one vendor unavoidable.

A European AI accelerator is now shipping.

Axelera’s Europa is designed in Europe, but relies on a global ecosystem of foundries, components and server vendors.

Sovereignty cannot mean autarky. So how much of the stack must Europe actually control?

New connected products sold in the EU must now be designed to give users access to the data they generate.

That could enable independent repair and competing services. But access is not yet interoperability: will manufacturers provide genuinely usable interfaces?

A US sanctions decision was enough to disable an Italian nonprofit.

Its .org domain disappeared, PayPal suspended its account, and even its Italian bank froze its funds. No Italian court order was needed.

Digital sovereignty goes far beyond where servers are hosted.

European satellite sovereignty cannot wait for IRIS².

Eutelsat is adding 229 Airbus-built satellites to OneWeb. Most will help maintain an existing network, not create a consumer-scale Starlink clone.

European model. US platform. Customer-controlled deployment. Sovereign AI?

The Mistral–Cloudera partnership suggests sovereignty may depend less on nationality than on whether customers can operate and replace every layer.

From the SovereignIT community on Reddit: Can AI be sovereign when the model is European, the platform American, and deployment remains under the customer’s control?
