Definition: Digital sovereignty means digital infrastructures, products and services that safeguard European security, strategic assets and interests while respecting European values and requirements. European Institutions and Administrations are representing citizens and businesses and respond to and ensuring the proper development of European society in its most holistic manner. Therefore, there is a need of preventing to spend and depending on external stakeholders to foster the monopoly and vendor lock-in making non-efficient solutions and subject to external agents desires. Digital sovereignty and autonomy imply the adoption of technical alternatives to promote cost-effective, sustainable, independent and secure solutions. Prior assessments of the suitability of these alternatives are strongly recommended, considering each area of implementation and taking into account relevant legal frameworks.
