Technology sovereignty will advance slowly through 2030Global technology sovereignty – a country’s ability to develop, operate, and secure critical technologies independently of foreign governments’ influence – will evolve slowly over the next five years, according to Forrester’s Global Sovereignty Forecast, 2025 to 2030. Released for the first time, Forrester’s Global Sovereignty Forecast includes a tech sovereignty index, which measures a country’s ability to develop, operate, and secure critical technologies independently to reduce exposure to geopolitical risks. The index assesses each country across nine dimensions of technology sovereignty: government AI investment; cloud sovereignty; technology workforce availability; AI model development; data centre capacity relative to technology spending; data centre autonomy; semiconductor production; software creation; and rare earths processing. The region encompasses both the world’s strongest and most constrained technology sovereignty positions.
