Abstract: Digital sovereignty has emerged as a central pillar of European strategic autonomy. EU digital sovereignty is defined as the capacity for strategic independence in the digital domain, while remaining open to global collaboration and aligning with democratic values. This Policy Brief focuses on digital sovereignty specifically through a public sector and public governance lens. It explores what digital sovereignty means when viewed not merely as technological independence, but as the capacity to contribute to the public good. It outlines the current status in the EU, provides an analysis of risks and opportunities, draws attention to the socio-economic importance and implications digital technologies have in enabling public governance and public services delivery, and provides a number of recommendations in identified strategic area of interventions.
