🚀 Europe on the Move Towards Digital Sovereignty! 🌍

In recent years, several European cities and countries have embarked on an exciting path away from US software, embracing open-source solutions. 💻✨ From Denmark to Germany, passing through Lyon and Barcelona, we are witnessing an unprecedented evolution in our ability to manage data and technologies independently.

This transition isn't just about software: it must be accompanied by solid hardware infrastructure. Without proper integration between software and hardware, our progress could slow down. 🛠️

We strongly support these initiatives for a sustainable and sovereign digital Europe! It is time for the continent to not only prioritize data privacy and security, but also to develop the necessary hardware to support these transformations.

Let's keep pushing in this direction! 💪
