The European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the Member States have
           committed themselves to cooperate on delivering the Union’s technological
           sovereignty in an open manner, in particular by secure and accessible digital and data
           infrastructures that enable other technological developsments, supporting the
           competitiveness and sustainability of the Union’s industry and economy, in particular
           of small and medium-sized enterprises (‘SMEs’) (7) and small mid-caps (‘SMCs’) (8),
           and the resilience of the Union’s value chains, as well as fostering the start-up
           ecosystem, including through the smooth functioning of the former European digital
           innovation hubs (‘EDIHs’), which have been refocused as the experience and
           acceleration centres for AI (‘Centres for AI’).
