Forrester’s 2027 European Predictions: Despite A Strong Desire To Regain Its Digital Sovereignty, Europe Will Selectively Reset, Not Sever, Key Technology Relationships
Forrester unveiled its 2027 European predictions at its Technology & Innovation Forum EMEA, arguing Europe will pursue selective rather than full digital sovereignty in 2027.
Key predictions include more than half of European AI-adopting companies reducing dependence on US hyperscalers, the EU levying 25% tariffs on China after manufacturing job losses, and the first side-by-side competition of Chinese, US, and European robotaxis on European roads.
The release is thought-leadership marketing for Forrester's research franchise with no direct financial impact on the company.
