On June 3, 2026, Brussels launched the European Technological Sovereignty Package, a comprehensive bundle of proposals designed to wean the continent off its dependence on foreign tech providers.

The package had originally been slated for a March launch.

What’s actually in the box

Three major pillars anchor the sovereignty package.

First up: Chips Act 2.0. This builds on the original 2023 Chips Act and pushes further into advanced semiconductor technology. The updated version introduces an “excellence label” for EU regions that successfully foster semiconductor ecosystems.
