Does sovereignty mean that you have to do everything yourself?

Clear answers on digital sovereignty, the ECSF, debate arguments and practical steps.

No. Sovereignty is not autarky and does not require complete independence. Organizations and states always depend on knowledge, suppliers, raw materials and cooperation.

The goal is for dependencies to be visible, manageable and replaceable where necessary. You can outsource work and still maintain control, as long as responsibilities, rights, access, continuity and exit options are properly arranged.
