Sovereignty
Digital Sovereignty
Digital sovereignty is a nation's ability to control its digital infrastructure, data, and technologies.
Definition
Digital sovereignty is the concept that nations should have control over their digital infrastructure, data, and technology, rather than depending on foreign providers. It encompasses: (1) Infrastructure sovereignty — domestic datacenters, networks, cloud, (2) Data sovereignty — data stored and processed locally, (3) Technology sovereignty — domestic software, semiconductors, AI models, (4) Regulatory sovereignty — ability to set digital regulations. Morocco is building digital sovereignty through initiatives like Harch Corp's GPU cloud, the Maroc Digital 2025 strategy, and local content requirements for government data.
