The European Commission has clearly identified open source as a strategic tool for bringing some balance to an EU cloud market currently dominated by a handful of non-EU hyperscalers. Part of that commitment comes through a series of ambitious, multi-million EU projects like the SIMPL platform for Data Spaces and the multi-country “Important Project of Common European Interest on Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services” (IPCEI-CIS). For the first time in the history of the European Union, it is the EU industry who will be leading large-scale open source projects aimed at building European strategic technologies. In this talk we will explain in detail how specific European open source technologies are being brought together as part of some of those projects to start building Sovereign Multi-Cloud solutions that ensure interoperability and digital sovereignty for European users while preventing vendor lock-in in the cloud market, opening up competition in the emerging 5G/edge.

- 6. Since 2017, the EU cloud market has grown more than threefold (over €23 billion for 2020) … but European cloud service providers’ market share keeps declining! The EU is heavily dependent on non-EU cloud services, infrastructure, and technologies Trends in the Cloud Market
- 7. New Industrial Strategy 🐌 Use of cloud in Europe is rising very slowly Only 36% of European enterprises used cloud services in 2020, mostly for simple services such as for email and storage of files. This slows down Europe’s green & digital transformation, and the new data economy. 🔍 Small market share for European actors The largest European cloud provider accounts for less than 1% of total revenues generated in the European market. Increasingly higher entry barriers for new CSPs, unable to compete against hyperscalers. 💸 Investment gap Estimated gap of 11,000 million EUR annually between what the US & China and Europe invest in cloud. 🤔 Concerns of European users They have in practice a very limited if non-existing possibility to switch between different cloud service providers. They also express their concerns with the use of non-European cloud services for reasons of personal data protection (e.g. GDPR compliance), cybersecurity, or applicable laws (e.g. CLOUD Act). Strategic Dependencies & Capacities — Key Issues
- 8. New Industrial Strategy 🚀 "Europe has a unique market opportunity in the next five years to strengthen its data processing technologies by capitalising on the changes to come, in particular related to edge computing". 🚀 Europe can leverage its current strengths in Industrial Internet of Things, 5G networks, and telco-cloud solutions: ○ “A competitive European alternative for a multi-cloud solution would be needed, building on an open source and governance by an independent organisation.” Strategic Dependencies & Capacities — Opportunities for Europe’s Autonomy
- 9. European Commission "It may be too late to replicate hyperscalers, but it is not too late to achieve technological sovereignty in some critical technology areas”
- 10. European Commission “Open source impacts the digital autonomy of Europe. Against the hyperscalers in the cloud, it is likely that open source can give Europe a chance to create and maintain its own, independent digital approach and stay in control of its processes, its information and its technology”. European Commission Open Source Software Strategy 2020-2023 “In the digital decade, open source will be a key element to achieve Europe’s resilience and digital sovereignty. Open source helps breaking entry barriers for innovative companies and cutting costs for users. It improves market competition and technology neutrality. In one word: it gives people choice”.
