From artificial intelligence to digital sovereignty: Europe must accelerate to meet goals by 2030

SAPO Tek1 September 2026 at 11:21

Europe is becoming increasingly digital, but according to the article, it remains far from having the main public services available online within a four-year deadline, with targets set for 2030. The European Union faces significant challenges in meeting its digital transformation objectives within the set timeframe.

Portugal stands out in the European landscape for the development of artificial intelligence chatbots, positioning itself as one of the most advanced countries in this technology. However, despite this progress, the article indicates that the cross-border aspect of digital services continues to be a barrier to European ambition.

Technological dependency is another problem mentioned as a factor hindering Europe's digital evolution. This dependency limits the bloc's capacity to achieve true digital sovereignty, an objective that is part of the targets set for 2030.

The article suggests that Europe needs to accelerate the pace of its digital initiatives to meet its commitments, while simultaneously facing the challenges of interoperability between countries and reducing dependence on external technologies.
