As Europe grapples with geopolitical tensions, the threat of economic sanctions, and political interference, securing digital sovereignty has become a central challenge for the region’s competitiveness and the future of its democracy. This urgency, highlighted by Mario Draghi’s alarmist report, is further underscored by the establishment of a new portfolio for Henna Virkkunen, Commissioner for Tech Sovereignty, Security, and Democracy, reflecting the growing convergence of these issues.
