NGI Commons webinar: Europe’s Tech Sovereignty Package: Key Takeaways and Next Steps
Join us for this fifth edition of a series of webinars, which started in 2025. This one aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Europe’s Tech Sovereignty Package in 90 minutes.
As the European Union just launched its ambitious Tech Sovereignty Package in 2026, organisations across the digital ecosystem are facing a pivotal moment. This webinar offers a clear, strategic overview of what the package means in practice, cutting through policy complexity to highlight the real implications for industry, innovation, and public infrastructure.
Led by the NGI Commons project, the session explores how this framework goes beyond regulation to reshape Europe’s digital ecosystem. Rather than adding new layers of bureaucracy, the package aims to streamline existing rules while strengthening Europe’s capabilities in critical domains such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and open-source software.
Stay tuned for more information and the agenda!
