Germany and France have agreed to invest more than €12 billion in key digital technologies to strengthen European digital independence. Chancellor Merz and President Macron said the funds will support the development of artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and other critical sectors, with companies as the main drivers of innovation. Digital minister Wildberger added that Germany and France aim to become engines for greater European digital sovereignty. The summit also marked the start of several international meetings: Merz will attend the G20 summit in South Africa, followed by the European Union–African Union meeting in Luanda, Angola. These events underscore the emphasis on digital and security cooperation across the continent and the EU.
