EU leaders agree to move ahead with ‘Buy European’ policy

https://mander.xyz/post/47383661

Europe’s digital sovereignty debate is maturing.

The EuroStack initiative and the new Digital Commons EDIC show a shift from regulation-first thinking towards capacity-building: infrastructure, markets, and coordination.

But sovereignty only works if institutions enable private innovation — without crowding it out.

Just learned that https://eurostack.eu/ is a European Industrial Policy initiative for Europe-focused investments to build and adopt suites of digital infrastructures.

This policy initiative is different from https://euro-stack.com/ done by a private company which published just yet another list of open source softwares. Be careful, it includes several non-european or open core only offerings, such as RocketChat or dead projects such as nua.

Digital flight from US providers is clearly becoming a concern at Amazon - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/sovereign-failover-design-for-digital-sovereignty-using-the-aws-european-sovereign-cloud/ "Organizations ... need to consider the impact of regulatory changes or geopolitical events on their access to cloud infrastructure. ... the AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a partition built entirely within the EU, launched in 2026." #digitalsovereignty #eurostack #aws

Please read the article I linked in that toot, for more context.

Also, Europe and the rest of the world are moving away from closed source companies, run by Silicon Valley tech bros, and subject to the tyranny of the USA. #Eurostack is a rising trend as the world chooses #DigitalSovereignty and moves to #FOSS for the sake of its security.

If you think this is a short-term trend, please take a look at this tiny article I wrote 13 years ago:

Does the EU need a fully competitive alternative to US tech giants, or can we do something different? Join us in the #EUpolicy devroom all day Sunday (UA2118) @ #FOSDEM with André Rebentisch to find out!

This is what digital sovereignty looks like in practice.

> Bria: Den mächtigsten Hebel hat die Politik selbst in der Hand: die öffentliche Beschaffung. Europa gibt *jährlich zwei Billionen Euro* für öffentliche Aufträge aus. Wenn mit einer »Buy European«-Strategie nur die Hälfte der digitalen Ausgaben an europäische Anbieter ginge, würde das den Markt grundlegend verändern. Deutschland ist Europas industrieller Motor, was Berlin tut, beeinflusst den ganzen Kontinent.

Should Europe boycott US tech over Greenland, and is it even possible?

As tensions over Greenland rise, some Europeans are asking whether it’s time to disentangle themselves from US tech dominance – but from smartphones to cloud services, rejecting US tech is easier said than done.

“It’s crazy that almost all of Europe’s public services run on US platforms like Microsoft or Google”.
