Digital sovereignty has become a central political and economic objective for Germany and the European Union. The concept describes the ability of states, companies, institutions, and individuals to act independently, securely, and autonomously in the digital sphere while maintaining control over data, digital infrastructures, and software systems. At the same time, digital sovereignty does not mean complete technological isolation or autarky. Instead, it emphasizes the freedom to choose digital technologies independently and to avoid irreversible dependencies on individual providers.
