Digital public infrastructure in Europe: How the EU can build the capability to deliver on Its digital sovereignty agenda

Europe’s push for digital sovereignty faces a fundamental challenge: building the capacity to deliver the infrastructure it wants to control. Nicholas Gates, Chloe Teevan, Emrys Schoemaker, Krisstina Rao and Federico Plantera explore how Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) can help reduce Europe’s digital dependencies and strengthen its ability to shape its own digital future. The report looks at the growing gap between Europe’s ambitions and its capacity to deliver, and it argues that European-controlled DPI should play a central role in closing that gap. Ultimately, the report asks what it will take for Europe to turn digital sovereignty from an ambition into reality.
