Forrester’s research measures several countries’ ability to develop, operate and secure critical technologies independently of a foreign governments’ influence.
Forrester has published the findings of the new ‘Global Sovereignty Forecast, 2025–2030’, which takes a look at how AI and technology sovereignty is likely to evolve across 14 major global economies, between now and 2030.
The study measured a region’s ability to develop, operate and secure critical technologies independently of foreign governments’ influence.
What was discovered is that despite significant investment in sovereign AI, chip manufacturing, cloud infrastructure and national technology capabilities, it is projected that global tech sovereignty will advance slowly over the next few years, with countries China and the US taking the lead position.
The average tech sovereignty score across all 14 countries assessed, which were Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, the UK, and the US, indicates only a minimal rise from 39pc to 40pc by 2030.
