Study: Europe almost fully dependent on foreign digital platforms
Original: "Betriebssysteme, Suchmaschinen, Cloud: Bei digitalen Plattformen ist Europa laut Studie fast vollständig von ausländisc
A new study covered by Heise reports that Europe is almost entirely dependent on foreign providers for key digital infrastructure, including operating systems, search engines and cloud services. The findings suggest this dependence is growing rather than shrinking, renewing debate about the continent's technological sovereignty and its lack of homegrown alternatives in core platform markets.
Why now: Concerns over Europe's digital sovereignty and reliance on US tech providers are a recurring and heated policy debate.
