Europe's Cloud Sovereignty Challenge and DePIN Solutions
Europe's Cloud Sovereignty Challenge and DePIN Solutions
🤔 Big Tech's European Chokehold
Non-EU tech giants currently control 72% of Europe's cloud market, creating significant geopolitical vulnerabilities. The EU is pursuing cloud sovereignty through:
- Federated cloud model implementation
- Integration of decentralized technologies
- Focus on edge computing solutions
Despite regulations like GDPR and the AI Act, Europe faces a €1.2 trillion investment gap. DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) offers potential solutions by:
- Enabling localized edge servers
- Reducing CDN dependencies
- Supporting decentralized data processing
Streamr Network demonstrates how decentralized infrastructure can support EU's cloud sovereignty goals through scalable data broadcasting and IoT integration.
