277 Digitalisation in Europe and the political development's impact

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of political developments on digitalisation in Europe, focusing on the dominance of American companies in the cloud market.

Guest: Fredrik Svensson Language: Swedish Duration: 16:53 min Nowadays, European companies purchase large parts of our digital capacity from abroad, often countries with different legislation, such as USA and China. Around 70% of the European cloud market is controlled by American companies, a percentage worth roughly 260 billion Euro every year. This comes with challenges in Europe and has taken a greater part of the political debate. Redpill Linpro's CBDO, Fredrik, joins us to discuss this topic. Fredrik advocates for always challenging your choice of digital solutions and considering either a European or an open source option.
