Strategic autonomy

Strategic autonomy is the ability, in terms of capacity and capabilities, to decide and act upon essential aspects of one’s longer-term future in the economy, society and their institutions. Where strategic autonomy is the means, sovereignty is the end.

Question Title

* 6. Strategic autonomy will require investment in R&D, standardisation, deployment, the industrial ecosystem, etc. Let's first focus on R&D investment at EU level. What do you think is the necessary annual R&D investment from EU programmes to realise EU strategic autonomy in this area (please provide a figure in billions of Euros)?

Question Title

* 7. Let's now focus on necessary additional R&D investment, by companies and by the 27 EU member states. How much do you think industry and the 27 EU member states have to add in total as R&D investment for EU strategic autonomy in this area on an annual basis (please provide a figure in billions of Euros)?

Question Title

* 8. Let's now look into investment for infrastructure, industrial ecosystem, roll-out or market deployment, etc, so non-R&D investment. How much of such investment is annually needed from EU programmes, so at the EU-level (please provide a figure in billions of Euros)?

Question Title

* 9. Finally, let's consider member state and industry investment for deployment, infrastructure, industrial ecosystem etc, so non-R&D investment which is, moreover, complementary to EU programmes. How much of such investment is needed in total across the EU countries on an annual basis (please provide a figure in billions of Euros)?
