SAFENet Launches to Boost European Digital Independence in Networks

A new initiative called SAFENet has been launched to address European digital sovereignty. The project emphasizes the critical need for digital independence in network infrastructure. It specifically targets the domain of routers and essential networking hardware. This move aims to reduce reliance on external technology providers for critical connectivity. Ensuring secure and autonomous networks is a primary goal of the SAFENet initiative. The launch represents a strategic step toward strengthening Europe's technological self-reliance. It highlights growing concerns about the security of global supply chains for network equipment. Establishing independent infrastructure is seen as vital for future digital stability in Europe.
