IIEA TalksFredrik Erixon - European Digital Sovereignty and the Transatlantic RelationshipIn his address to the IIEA, Fredrik Erixon argues that Europe's quest for digital sovereignty is unrealistic if it requires Europe to cut its dependence on the rest of the world by substituting foreign suppliers with local ones.
