AWS has become more than a cloud provider. It increasingly functions as a foundational layer of the global economy, raising questions about scale, governance, jurisdiction and Europe’s search for strategic autonomy in the age of artificial intelligence.
STACKIT represents an emerging model of European cloud infrastructure rooted in industry, compliance and sovereignty. Its development suggests that Europe’s computing future may increasingly depend on trusted ecosystems built around governance, resilience and operational control.
IONOS represents a distinctly European approach to cloud infrastructure, prioritising trust, governance and sovereignty alongside technological capability. As demand for compute accelerates, the company offers insight into how Europe may seek to balance digital autonomy, competitiveness and control over its computing future.
OVHcloud has emerged as one of Europe’s most ambitious cloud providers, combining sovereign ownership with hyperscale ambitions. Its trajectory offers insight into Europe’s broader challenge: transforming digital autonomy from political aspiration into operational infrastructure.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly dependent on energy, a new geography of computing may be emerging. Project Enki explores whether the future of AI infrastructure will be built around technology hubs—or around locations where energy is abundant.
Europe leads the debate on artificial intelligence, digital sovereignty and technology regulation. Yet beneath these ambitions lies a more fundamental question: does Europe possess the infrastructure required to support large-scale AI? From energy certainty to resource allocation, geography and adaptability, five forces may ultimately determine Europe’s ability to compete in the age of artificial intelligence.
As artificial intelligence and cloud computing continue to scale, communication networks are becoming a critical part of digital infrastructure. This briefing explores how EFFECT Photonics is helping address the growing challenge of moving information efficiently through increasingly complex AI and cloud environments.
Integrated photonics is moving from research laboratories into commercial deployment. This briefing explores why manufacturing capacity may become one of Europe’s most important strategic assets and how SMART Photonics is helping transform scientific innovation into industrial capability.
As artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure and advanced communications continue to scale, photonics is emerging as a critical enabling technology. This briefing explores how PhotonDelta is helping build a European ecosystem that could become strategically important to the future of digital infrastructure.
As artificial intelligence scales, computation is no longer the only challenge. This briefing examines how communication, networking and photonics are emerging as critical constraints that may shape the future performance, efficiency and infrastructure of AI systems.
