The 2026 Tech Sovereignty Package and Its Dilemmas
The Tech Sovereignty Package is the flagship legislative bundle of von der Leyen’s second Commission, positioned as a definitive pivot from Europe acting as a "Regulatory Superpower" to becoming a "Production Powerhouse." Led by Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security, and Democracy, the package is a direct operationalisation of the stark warnings laid out in the 2024 Draghi Competitiveness Report and formally adopted into EU strategy via the January 2025 Competitiveness Compass (COM(2025) 30). As a reminder, one of Mario Draghi’s recommendations in his 2024 Report was to reduce the regulatory burden currently stifling EU innovation.
