The European Commission has just released a major strategy on technological sovereignty, and it’s placing open source software squarely in the spotlight. The message is clear: open source is key to true digital independence. Right now, Europe depends on non-EU tech providers for over 80% of critical digital infrastructure, and that’s a problem. The EU’s new approach to open digital ecosystems aims to change that by backing open source solutions across the board. Open source code is transparent and auditable, and being able to see what is running provides better security and real control.
