The UK is arguing that British digital companies should be eligible to compete for contracts under the EU’s forthcoming “Made in Europe” technology rules, Bloomberg reports. The government says the bloc’s push for technological autonomy could harm British firms.
Why it mattersThe dispute matters because the rules could shape who gets to sell into publicly backed European technology projects. For British suppliers, the fine print may decide whether “European” means nearby, or EU-only.
Discuss: Should EU-backed technology contracts prioritise home-grown suppliers, or remain open to trusted partners such as the UK?
