Project Syndicate - The Missing Ingredient for European Tech Sovereignty

The EU's new Tech Sovereignty Package aims to reduce dependence on US technology through investments in AI, semiconductors, and cloud infrastructure, but lacks antitrust enforcement mechanisms to prevent Big Tech from capturing value or acquiring emerging European competitors.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models, Semiconductors and Cloud Infrastructure. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur, Fusion42's AI co-founder, reasons over.
