Europe's battle to break free from dependence on U.S. Big Tech intensifies as cloud law and political tensions escalate

Europe is accelerating efforts to reduce dependence on U.S. Big Tech by pushing sovereign cloud, open-source, and domestic alternatives.

France and the EU are selecting trusted cloud providers, moving health data, and encouraging shifts away from Microsoft, AWS, and other U.S. platforms.

Some companies and public agencies are also adopting Linux, open-source tools, and in-house search or collaboration systems.

The push for tech sovereignty could reshape public procurement, infrastructure choices, and competition in cloud, search, and workplace software.
