SUMMARY:Open Source as Requirement for Digitally Sovereign Products [EN]
DESCRIPTION:Who owns your data\, and who shaped this decision? Frank Karlitschek on building an open\, sovereign digital infrastructure for Europe.\n \nEurope’s digital public sphere is built on infrastructure\, platforms\, and standards largely controlled by a handful of non-European Big Tech companies. This dependency is no longer a purely economic issue — it shapes democratic discourse\, limits policy autonomy\, constrains innovation\, and exposes societies to geopolitical and systemic risk. The EuroStack initiative responds to this challenge with a simple but ambitious idea: Europe needs its own coherent\, open\, and sovereign digital stack.Europe’s digital public sphere is built on infrastructure\, platforms\, and standards largely controlled by a handful of non-European Big Tech companies.
