Speedinvest sees European sovereignty push creating technology investment opportunities
Europe’s push for technological sovereignty could create investment opportunities in defense, energy and digital infrastructure despite broader costs from reduced free trade. EU government spending, almost 50% of GDP, could drive revenue growth for businesses addressing strategic dependencies. European spending on Ukraine’s defense is already accelerating defense technology growth and innovation, drawing in private capital. A fully integrated EU single market could unlock an estimated 10%-30% in additional GDP, supporting investment capacity. Achieving sovereignty across all strategic sectors remains unrealistic without massive investment, a shared European strategy and faster execution.
