The session, organised by CONNECT University (European Commission, DG CONNECT) will focus on some proposals for a EU digital strategy that strengthens its digital strategic autonomy, exploring its possible impacts in the EU’s Digital Decade Policy Programme.

Against a backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions and growing dependencies on foreign tech actors, the question of digital sovereignty has become increasingly urgent. Recent initiatives reflect a renewed ambition to strengthen Europe’s autonomy in strategic digital sectors, such as AI, semiconductors, cloud, and digital infrastructure. The session aims to exploresome of the proposals to ensure the EU works towards a digital strategy that strengthens its own digital strategic autonomy and their relevance to the EU’s Digital Decade Policy Programme.

This session is part of the broader Digital Decade Community activities and aims to foster a discussion around European digital sovereignty, ahead of the 2025 edition of the State of the Digital Decade Report.

Testimonial

STARGATE - Sustainable Aviation

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”.  It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
