Summary
On Jun 3, 2026, the European Commission presented the European Technological Sovereignty Package, covering semiconductors, artificial intelligence, cloud and open source. It includes 2 legislative proposals, a new version of the Chips Act and the Cloud and AI Development Act, plus an Open Source Strategy and a Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI in Energy. The Cloud and AI Development Act aims to triple data centre capacity in Europe over the next five to seven years and introduce a single EU-wide framework to assess cloud and AI sovereignty. The Chips Act revision would speed up permitting and support investment and strategic projects. The legislative proposals are to be negotiated by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union before adoption.
Why it matters
The package proposes new EU legislation affecting semiconductor, cloud, data centre and AI sectors, including a sovereignty assessment framework for cloud and AI. The proposals must be negotiated by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union before adoption. A call for AI Gigafactories is expected in July.
