  • Technological sovereignty can be defined as the ability of a country to guarantee access at all times to the key technologies that are necessary to meet social priorities and needs
  • Despite having different competences, the countries analyzed focus largely on the same fields of technology that are expected to generate value in the future
  • Measures to promote technological sovereignty are heterogenous across countries and range from the promotion of R&D activities to sub sidies for setting up industrial plants
