To become the peaceful and non-hegemonic power that France would like to see, the European Union will have to acquire and master the key technologies that will allow it to free itself from its traditional partners, beginning with the United States. Only the implementation of a determined policy of overall technological sovereignty, free of any complex, will allow Europe to attain its goal of becoming a world power. The problem of technological sovereignty really has to be taken on board, because it is not just a question of power but one of the continuance of our political, economic and social model.
