The blog in question has several proposal in that direction, though a little more sophisticated.
He basically says that the EU should fund the development and deployment of certain key services that are technologically feasible and hugely important. Even doing this at a total loss, the benefits would be beyond huge and build the capacity we would need to take further steps.
