European cloud providers back EU push to cut reliance on US tech

European cloud providers are supporting a European Union initiative to reduce dependence on US technology. The push aims to strengthen digital sovereignty by promoting local alternatives to American cloud services. Providers like OVHcloud and Deutsche Telekom have voiced backing for the effort. The EU seeks to create a more competitive market for European cloud infrastructure. This move responds to concerns over data security and foreign control of critical digital assets. The initiative could reshape the European cloud landscape by encouraging adoption of homegrown solutions.
