Europe’s Strategic Bet for an Open Source, Sovereign Edge Cloud

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Europe targets 10,000 climate‑neutral edge nodes by 2030 and funds edge/cloud R&D through Horizon Europe 2021–2027, pushing open source and interoperability as policy priorities (Digital Compass, EU Open Source Strategy). Only 36% of companies used cloud in 2020 and the Commission flags a €11,000 million annual investment gap, so calls and an IPCEI coordinated by 11 member states (Germany and France leading) explicitly fund open source next‑gen cloud stacks while hyperscalers attach to telco networks via AWS‑style wavelength deals.
