Let’s back our own EU Tech industry. At & The Big Fish, we’re exploring a move to European IT solutions, like; • TUXEDO OS (instead of Windows) • ONLYOFFICE (instead of Microsoft Office) • Nextcloud Hub, EU-hosted (instead of Google Drive) Admittedly a bit opportunistic and I know large organizations can’t pivot like this easily. But SMEs and startups can! Using this stack or joining this movement? Drop your thoughts or tips below! #europeantech #cloud #digitalsovereignty #executivesearch #gdpr #buylocal Marloes Pomp Techleap TUXEDO Computers GmbH ONLYOFFICE Nextcloud www.andthebigfish.com

They even want to buy computers from @tuxedocomputers and use @nextcloud

Dear Fellow Europeans

Any recommendations on where to buy a small number “Buy European” stickers in various sizes and materials that I can stick to my laptop/phone?

Thankfully, Europe has loads of homegrown cloud providers. The largest is France’s OVHcloud, which runs the world’s largest data centre by surface area. Others include Finland’s UpCloud, Switzerland’s Exoscale, Germany’s IONOS, and France’s Scaleway (the cloud provider of choice for French AI unicorn Mistral).

Political momentum on this front looks to be building. In a speech yesterday, France’s AI minister, Clara Chappaz, called on the continent to “work as a pack” to take on US “predator” tech firms, particularly in the cloud services sector.

Wer noch immer Windows 10 im Einsatz hat, sollte nach Einschätzung des BSI zeitnah tätig werden und sich mit einem anderen Betriebssystem anfreunden. (Windows 10, Microsoft)

The sweeping new toy safety rules will also mean that all toys sold in the EU will be slapped with a 'digital product passport' in the form of a QR code displaying its compliance with EU safety laws.

Children’s squeaky plastic toys, trucks, blocks and dolls contain chemicals which are harmful to health, such as PFAS, also known as ‘forever chemicals’, as well as other hazardous substances like bisphenols.

Recently, the Commission said they would take a "holistic" approach to regulating large e-commerce platforms like Shein, and Norway is mulling a crackdown on Temu, including a possible ban, over the sale of toxic toys.

A recent investigation by Toy Industries Europe into unbranded toys sold online found that 80% of toys examined by the group failed to meet EU safety standards, including products purchased from Amazon, Wish and AliExpress.

So I've been looking to get a good generator to cover for power outages, and Ecoflow has a number of affordable, personal, solar-charged generators. But, alas, they're American.

Does anyone know of any EU companies that build similar devices to Ecoflow's?

A philosophical reflection: why are so many entrepreneurs obsessed with expansionism? Does it have to do with ego, with power, with greed and “always more”? What is wrong with the local market? Expansion at home, neighboring countries or - by extension - Europe. Surely that should be enough? Just making good money that you yourself and your group of workers can live a good life. Should that really be so much more? Or am I naive and still believe in fairy tales? Buy from Europe. Maybe we finaly are starting to understand the power of local businesses.
