EuroStack: European Tech Giant Unveils Revolutionary Product for EU Governments to Reduce Dependence on America

A consortium of over 100 technology companies from Europe has united under the banner of EuroStack to pen an open letter urging the European government to invest in Europe’s own technology to reduce reliance on foreign tech, especially from the United States.

EuroStack is a broad term that encompasses everything from hardware (down to the chip level), software, and various online services that Europe should be capable of producing on its own. While brand names were not explicitly mentioned in the proposal, it suggests that the European government should seek funding models to support browser development in Europe, instead of relying solely on Google’s advertising revenue.

The EuroStack proposal not only calls for European governments to prioritize buying IT systems made within Europe (Buy European) but also to develop common standards in various fields to foster competition among smaller players outside of the United States.

Europe’s determination to reduce dependence on American technology has become increasingly clear, especially after the second term of President Donald Trump, which demonstrated a growing rift between Europe and the US.
