The role of an Open Computing Architecture in EU Digital sovereignty
summary
EU policy pushes concrete targets — >10,000 Edge nodes and >75% of companies on cloud by 2030 — and backs hardware with funds: €1.2B project, NextGenerationEU and regional grants, EP I efforts like European Processor Initiative and EPAC 1.5/2.0 plus R1/R2 and three EU‑pilot processors. The claim is that an Open Computing Architecture built from RISC‑V silicon through open firmware and cloud stacks creates European alternatives, a 1:4+ ROI in open source, and enables a planned 3C connected collaborative computing networks covering telco, edge and data center.
