About

We invite you to join our roundtable on the future of EU cloud providers. We will explore how organizations can move forward in building a resilient and sovereign EU cloud landscape. We will address essential topics such as long-term viability of European cloud solutions, vendor lock-in risks, effective migration strategies and costs. We’ll also explore the importance of (re)training IT professionals, what obstacles you can expect when migrating to one or more EU cloud providers and what selection attributes of EU cloud providers might be relevant.

Join us to share your insights, challenges, and ideas as we seek the best way forward for a resilient and sovereign EU cloud landscape.
