With the growing concerns around digital sovereignty and the impact of policies like the CLOUD Act, it's clear that Europe needs to take control of its digital future. The Dutch Parliament's call for tech independence is a great start, and I hope other European countries follow.

But what will be the tipping point for the masses to shift towards European software and tech? Will it be a major data breach, stricter regulations, or a breakthrough innovation?

Investing in open-source technologies and local cloud infrastructures is crucial. What do you think will drive this change?
