About this report
Europe’s strategic autonomy depends on its ability to identify and manage the external dependencies that sustain its energy system, industrial production, digital infrastructure, healthcare, financial networks and defence capabilities.
Interdependence becomes a security vulnerability when an essential input, technology, service or infrastructure is concentrated in a limited number of suppliers, difficult to replace and exposed to political pressure, export restrictions, cyber compromise, sabotage or extraterritorial control.
