2026年10月20日,欧盟委员会发布联合通讯,正式宣布计划建设名为“泛北极电缆”(Pan-Arctic Cable)的项目,旨在构建连接欧洲与格陵兰的首条跨大西洋海底互联网电缆 1。该战略文件指出,项目核心目标是建立“连接格陵兰与欧盟的直接主权、安全和弹性海底电缆连接”,作为欧盟北极旗舰项目的一部分 1。
在地缘政治层面,此举被视为在欧美关系紧张背景下,欧洲追求独立数字基础设施并可能绕过美国的举措 1。Atlantic Council高级研究员Elisabeth Braw评论称,此类项目五年前商业吸引力不高,如今被提上议程是时代的标志 1。此外,规划还预留了扩展空间,未来可能延伸至加拿大,进而连接日本和韩国 1。
The European Commission released a joint communication on October 20, 2026, announcing plans for the "Pan-Arctic Cable," the EU's first undersea internet connection linking Europe and Greenland. 1 This initiative is part of the EU's flagship Arctic strategy and aims to establish a direct sovereign, secure, and resilient submarine cable link between Greenland and the Union. 1 The project is interpreted as an effort to bypass the United States in digital infrastructure, reflecting growing geopolitical tensions and a desire for independent connectivity. 1
The proposal envisions potential future extensions of the cable network to Canada, which could further connect Japan and South Korea. 1 Elisabeth Braw, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, noted that such a project would have lacked commercial appeal five years ago, observing that its current inclusion on the agenda is a significant marker of changing times. 1
