Re: So what?
There are of course several domestic cloud providers across Europe that can fulfil even the most stringent digital sovereignty requirements (in the Nordics, Tietoevry to mention one). Let's not forget that digital sovereignty is not limited to where data are hosted but also who has access and operates those data and the technology used to work with it. Said that, costs and quick access to innovative features are usually 2 of the aspects that are mentioned in favor of the US giants. Without significant investments in our European capabilities, it will always be challenging to compete with these big guys. It's also why times may be mature to consider multi cloud solutions where sensitive data are segregated in a smart way.
