EU outlines strategy to cut reliance on US technology

The European Union has published a plan to lessen its dependence on American technology. The strategy targets key sectors such as semiconductors and cloud services. EU officials aim to boost domestic development and alternative suppliers. The plan includes measures to increase investment in local tech firms. Reducing reliance is framed as a matter of strategic autonomy. Policymakers anticipate strengthening the EU’s own innovation ecosystem. The outline also calls for tighter regulation of foreign tech imports. Observers will assess how the proposal influences trans‑Atlantic tech relations.
