Forrester sees over half of European AI adopters cutting reliance on US hyperscalers by 2027
FORR•Forrester expects more than 50% of European AI adopters to reduce reliance on US hyperscalers by 2027, shifting critical data and workloads to European providers.
1. Selective sovereignty forecast
Forrester forecasts Europe will pursue selective digital sovereignty in 2027, resetting key technology ties rather than severing them. It says limited end-to-end sovereign alternatives may slow the near-term impact of new AI sovereignty and platform governance rules.
2. Other European forecasts
Forrester expects China’s export push to trigger European manufacturing job losses before the EU imposes 25% tariffs. It also projects Europe will become the first market where Chinese and US robotaxis compete directly on public roads.
