🚨Still locked into Microsoft? You're not out of options. Under NIS2 and GDPR, more organizations are diversifying their tech stack, choosing European-built solutions that ensure compliance, transparency, and control. We've pulled together a simple overview of alternatives to the tools you're probably using every day, from cloud storage and calendars to email, surveys, and chat. These tools: - Are hosted in Europe - Support end-to-end encryption - Align with GDPR and NIS2 - Keep you out of foreign legal exposure Interested only in Teams alternatives? We’ve got you covered! 🔗: https://lnkd.in/d5g7TvfH Know a tool that should be on the list?

💾 What does “sovereignty” really mean if your files still live on foreign servers? While attention often goes to messaging or AI, file storage quietly shapes the foundation of Europe’s digital independence. It decides where data resides, who can access it, and how compliance is enforced. For many organizations, sovereignty starts not with policy but with infrastructure. Choosing European-built storage solutions (like Internxt, Pydio, Nuclino or CryptPad) means to choose control, trust, and resilience within EU jurisdiction. File storage may not make headlines, but it defines who truly owns their data. Dive into the full breakdown: https://lnkd.in/dbjtUMJp #DigitalSovereignty #EuropeanTech

Why is our Director of Product explaining a meme at a digital sovereignty event? 😄 Because sometimes, the best way to talk about Europe’s tech future is to show what’s actually holding it back: perception. At Andersen Lab’s “Europe: Digital Sovereignty or Dependence?” event in Amsterdam, Guillaume Lesur joined European tech leaders; Irina Gruzdeva, Mahmoud Yassin & Mariane ter Veen, to discuss how we can shift that narrative. As he pointed out, Europe already builds world-class technology, the problem isn’t capability, it’s how it’s perceived. Sovereignty starts with pragmatism: 👉 Put European solutions first, not as backups. 👉 Let reliability and security prove themselves in practice. The message was clear: European innovation isn’t a niche choice anymore. It’s the natural, trusted foundation for a secure digital future. 🇪🇺 #DigitalSovereignty #EuropeanTech

When AWS went dark last week, many organizations were reminded of just how fragile our digital dependencies are. Europe’s digital infrastructure faces a paradox: we talk about sovereignty, security, and resilience, yet we still rely heavily on systems designed, governed, and controlled outside of Europe’s jurisdiction ( 👋 Cloud ACT). But the good news? Things are starting to change. Across the continent, European alternatives are showing that secure, compliant, and user-friendly tools don’t have to come from Silicon Valley. They can be built here: by teams who understand Europe’s privacy values, regulatory frameworks, and need for independence. #DigitalSovereignty #BuiltinEurope Tuta | Secure Email & Calendar Proton Nextcloud OpenTalk Whereby Pydio STACKIT Internxt Cloud Temple Collabora XWiki OpenProject Meister

Are we late to the party? 🎉 It’s been two weeks since #SCCON25 wrapped up and we’re still feeling the energy. 23,000+ participants. 800+ speakers. Endless conversations about digital sovereignty, secure collaboration, and Europe’s tech independence. From inspiring talks to partner meetings and spontaneous booth discussions, Smart Country Convention once again proved: the only way forward is together. A huge thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and at the Schwarz Digits stand and especially to the team who made it all happen: Benjamin Schilz Oliver Brown (OB) Sascha Haase Lara Hubmann Frederik Olivanti Cian R.

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to join the The Labour Party conference in Liverpool alongside Al Carns MP, Alex Barros-Curtis MP, and Jon Craig from Sky News to discuss how the UK & EUROPE can secure its digital future. Insights from Wire’s 2025 European Sovereignty Survey show that 84% of leaders view sovereignty as a top priority, but only 16% believe it will be achieved within five years. The gap lies not in regulation but in execution. Our discussion focused on these key question: how can the UK and Europe turn strong regulatory foundations into real digital sovereignty in practice, through investment, partnering, and procurement? Thank you to everyone who contributed to this important conversation and to Context Public Relations for bringing together leaders who are shaping the next chapter of the UK’s & Europes digital future.

Switzerland passed Europe’s strongest open source law. Two weeks later: €165M to Microsoft. No tender. Reason? “No alternative exists.” That’s not a bug, that’s the business model. Colin Wirz - Thanks for the inspiration, https://lnkd.in/eEWnn3mF

Day 1 at it-sa – Home of IT Security 2025 What a start in Nuremberg! From inspiring conversations and partner meetups to exploring the buzzing halls, it’s been a great first day at Europe’s Home of IT Security. You can find us in Hall 9, Booth 134, and meet Frederik Olivanti and Lara Hubmann at the XM Cyber booth in Hall 7A. We even wrapped up the day at the Hornetsecurity afterparty, a great reminder of how connected and collaborative this community is. Looking forward to Day 2! #itsaexpo #itsa365
