European Sovereign Cloud Ambitions: The Role of EU Legislation
summary
European cloud share shrinks while overall market and data‑center capacity grow, with forecasts showing data centers may consume well over 10% of Europe’s energy before 2030. Policy targets are concrete: 75% cloud adoption across all companies and 10,000 edge nodes by 2030. About €7.5bn of public funding hits the sector over the last five years; the Data Act introduces preventions on unlawful access, standard contractual clauses, and an open interoperability specification plus central repository for technical specs.
