ᛋ European Industrial Sovereignty

Sovereign capability begins with industrial capacity.

Sovereignty here means European control of capability: meaningful domestic participation, supply-chain resilience, and accountable industrial execution. It is a practical operating posture, not a marketing claim.

Sovereignty is not a cybersecurity slogan. It is about who can design, manufacture, integrate, and sustain the systems Europe depends on, and where that capability lives.
