Okay, MEP @alexandrageese seems to agree that the #eurostack approach risks giving us "more of the same" toxic tech, or something even worse. And that a #buyeuropean conditionality has no guarantee that the new tech actually works for the public good.

We also need energy independence, here clean energy made in EU with EU tech can play a key role in both reducing our dependence and reducing co2.
We cannot backtrack on biodiversity or climate either.

This is also why we need a new approach to tech policy that does not seek to separate tech implementation from societal impacts. For eg., #EuroStack needs to incorporate a decolonialist agenda or risk creating new tech policies that recreate current power systems: platformable.beehiiv.com

EuroStack: Europe's Digital Sovereignty Initiative - Sitebolts
The past couple of weeks have been very focused on Europe. There's a lot going on in this region, between the ongoing tariff negotiations, trade deals* (concepts of deals?), and general shakeups in the relationship between the EU and the rest of the world. Part of the themes we've covered a lot this year have revolved around the shifts in digital supply chains amidst this chaos. In today's piece, we'll keep the focus on the digital supply chain and Europe specifically, but we'll take a look at something other than tariffs: the EuroStack project.

Great article! We have so much catch-up to do, it's frustrating that much of the 'nation-building projects' talk so far has revolved around fantasies of 'decarbonized oil' pipelines. Hopefully we get some serious ideas soon - a Canadian wing of Eurostack (or similar) would be huge step forward.

Is EU OS also part of the EuroStack vision or is the latter focused on clouds only? Is there no EU hub that coördinates different European initiatives?
