Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Europe's digital technology position is stronger than the debate suggests, primarily because Europeans are global leaders in AI adoption. AI can help mitigate labour scarcity, support SMEs and reduce fragmentation, with open-weight models limiting costs. On the supply side, Europe has talent, strong research hubs and niche hardware players, including ASML's EUV monopoly. Data centre capacity is projected to triple by 2035, potentially sufficient economically. In digital sovereignty, Europe holds cards that create mutual dependencies, but whether they suffice depends on how well Europe plays them.

Key arguments
- Europe leads globally in AI adoption, which can offset labour scarcity, support its SME-heavy economy, and reduce cross-border frictions.
- Open-weight AI models challenge incumbent pricing power, limiting the cost of AI for European users.
- Europe has supply-side strengths in talent, research hubs, smaller efficient models, and niche hardware, including ASML's EUV monopoly and photonic integrated circuits.
- Europe does not need to match the US or China; sufficient capabilities and mutual dependencies are more achievable goals.
Key numbers
- Data centre capacity growth
- almost triple by 2035
- Data centre share of EU electricity demand by 2030
- around 3%
- US tech firms' European turnover share
- between a quarter and a third
Main risks
- US government could force American cloud and AI providers to cut off services to Europe, although this is a theoretical risk.
- Europe lags far behind the US in data centre capacity, which could constrain AI compute supply if not expanded.
- Whether Europe's digital sovereignty cards are sufficient depends on implementation of policies like the open source strategy and mutual dependencies.

It can also help SMEs scale up without having to establish traditional support functions, such as HR departments, that might slow the transition from a business with fewer than 20 employees to a larger organisation.
