Europe does not need a cloud infrastructure to be competitive on the internet, we lost that battle years ago and we know it. What Europe needs is “onlt” a cloud infrastructure for governmental data and critical private sectors like arms producers.
IMO, that’s the wrong attitude. With a president as wonky as Tramp, it only makes sense for companies to protect themselves from addle-brained decisions that could shutdown their entire business. Imagine a tax on cloud computing imposed by the US on foreign companies. The wrong side of the bed could one day beckon and that’s all it could take.
Sudden changes like the aforementioned could bring in a lot of money into European tech and that could definitely grow to compete with US tech. Europe has a large economy and many affluent citizens compared to the rest of the world.
