Europe is running the risk of falling even further behind global digital market leaders like the United States and China. The EuroStack initiative aims to counter this trend by developing Europe’s own comprehensive digital infrastructure. This industrial policy framework integrates technology, financing, economic development, political governance, sustainability and public interest considerations. An analysis by the Bertelsmann Stiftung, led by innovation economist Francesca Bria and an international team of experts, estimates that this transformation will take roughly a decade and require investments of around €300 billion.
