Privacy First

Move away from ecosystems designed to harvest your data, the gold of the 21st century.

Stop being the product. Learn to use software that respects privacy and ensures your data stays yours, not a foreign corporation's asset.

SovStack - Digital Independence

Sovereign infrastructure and technology are of utmost importance, expecially in times of political uncertainty.

Reduce reliance on foreign vendors who can change terms, prices, or access your data at any time.

Economic Resilience

Stop exporting wealth.

By investing in and adopting European technology, we keep capital within the EU, foster innovation, create high-value tech jobs, and build a more robust economy.

The Economic Case

Digital independence isn't just about privacy—it's about economic resilience. When we rely on foreign tech giants for our infrastructure, we are effectively exporting our wealth and ceding control of our future.

By investing in and adopting European and open-source technology, we keep capital within the EU, foster innovation, and build a more robust economy.

Stop Digital Drain

Every euro spent on licenses, subscriptions, and support for non-EU tech giants flows out of the European economy, often to jurisdictions with different tax regimes and labour standards.

"If we don't build it, we consume it."

We need to build competencies in critical technologies which we built ourselves. Buying a technology and adding branding is not enough.

Job Creation

Adopting European technologies fosters a local talent pool of technical experts, creating high-quality jobs within the EU. Let's create the high-paying jobs at home!

Bad For Business

Europe is the Linux champion and most major Linux distributions are developed by Europeans. All supercomputers world-wide are running on Linux. All Big Tech companies run Linux and then sell us access to something built on Linux. Yet, almost no personal computer in Europe runs on Linux.

This must change!

Innovation Acceleration

Instead of reinventing the wheel for every project, our businesses can build upon shared, open foundations, speeding up innovation and reducing costs.

By investing in open standards today, we ensure that our digital infrastructure remains affordable, adaptable, and owned by Europeans for generations to come.

Future-Proofing

"We believe, Europeans should run the superior operating system, open source, and made by Europeans."

Don't just consume technology.

Shape It.

Build It.

Join us to learn how to leverage European Technology for personal freedom and economic strength.
