The gist: The EU Commission has adopted a technological sovereignty package that obligates organizations to reduce their dependence on US providers.
On June 3, 2026, the EU Commission presented the European Technological Sovereignty Package to strengthen Europe’s digital autonomy and resilience against dependencies on major US providers.
The EU Commission is continuing its strategy to reduce technological dependencies. With the European Technological Sovereignty Package presented on June 3, 2026, concrete measures are defined to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty.
For Chief Data Officers and compliance officers, this package represents a shift in regulatory priorities. In addition to existing requirements of the EU AI Act, organizations will in future have to contend with additional obligations regarding data sovereignty, infrastructure resilience and vendor diversification. This particularly affects the selection of AI systems, cloud services and critical digital infrastructures.
In practical terms, this means organizations must review their vendor portfolios and data flows into their systems. Organizations should begin to evaluate alternative European and local technology solutions and document their dependency risks with respect to US providers. The integration of such assessments into existing governance processes and risk management systems will become increasingly important.
