European digital sovereignty requires more than just local hosting; it requires the freedom to choose, adapt, and innovate without vendor lock-in. Open source serves as the foundation for this independence, providing the transparency and interoperability necessary for a resilient digital future.

#Digitalsovereignty is more than a buzzword. It’s the ability to control your own data, infrastructure, and software without being locked into a single provider. In a world of shifting regulations and geopolitical uncertainty, sovereignty is the ultimate safety net. It means: - Freedom from vendor lock-in. - Compliance that’s built-in, not bolted on. - Control over your most valuable asset: your data. Open source is definitely a foundational element for such freedom, but compliance and control of data requires additional architectural and control points. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7432323719596859393
Open source increases transparency and choice, but digital sovereignty also depends on jurisdiction and control. When every US vendor repeats the same “sovereignty is not about headquarters” line, you start to wonder whether this message came from strategy or from the same memo.
Ein wichtiger Beitrag zur aktuellen Diskussion über digitale Souveränität in Europa. Der Artikel von Red Hat zeigt sehr gut: Echte Souveränität entsteht nicht durch Abschottung, sondern durch Kontrolle, Transparenz und offene Standards. Als Red Hat Partner sehen wir in vielen Projekten, wie Open Source Organisationen die nötige Flexibilität und Unabhängigkeit gibt, um ihre IT-Strategie selbst zu gestalten, heute und in Zukunft. Ein spannender Impuls für Politik, Wirtschaft und die europäische Tech-Community.
