Abstract

The current geopolitical instability has driven global policy frameworks to prioritize economic security. This shift has intensified the debate on technology sovereignty among developed countries, due to concerns over supply chain disruptions and competition for future technologies. However, equating technology sovereignty with techno-nationalism should be avoided. Techno-nationalism can lead to unrealistic goals of domestically possessing all necessary technologies, resulting in protectionism. Given the complex and interconnected nature of technological development, no single country can control all component technologies. This study proposes a concept of collaborative technology sovereignty, promoting openness in technology development and acquisition. Policies should focus on creating systems for sharing technologies with like-minded countries while securing critical technologies. Lessons from existing policies are essential for expanding this collaborative approach and establishing strategies for collaborative technology sovereignty.
