Sovereign software seems to be coming more and more to the fore. Lots of people don’t trust Chinese tech, now more and more Europeans & Canadians don’t trust American tech.
Microsoft is widely used across European government departments and civil services. The German state of Schleswig-Holstein just moved from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice across its 30,000 government computers, but that is still small numbers compared to the Euro total.
Docs is part of France’s La Suite numérique (“the digital suite”), which is also working on an open-source video conferencing service called Visio.
Europe and the US have sharply diverging views on AI, so I would expect Sovereign AI to become more prominent too.

This is super interesting! The rise of sovereign software really highlights how countries are starting to prioritize data sovereignty and digital independence. It’s fascinating to see governments taking the initiative to create alternatives to big American tech companies. I wonder how these platforms will handle user privacy and data security compared to their counterparts.
Also, it could be a game changer for local businesses and startups, giving them tools that are more aligned with their needs and regulations. I think we might see a ripple effect where other countries follow suit, especially if these platforms gain traction.
It’ll be interesting to keep an eye on how this develops and what features these sovereign tools will offer that set them apart. Full disclosure: I’m the founder of Treendly.com, a SaaS that can help you in this because we track emerging trends like this one.
I can only imagine this sort of thing accelerating. The US has shown itself to be an unreliable partner, so even once close allies are pivoting away from relying on American tech, goods, etc. Once these alternatives are established I doubt there would be any incentive to go back.
I too am looking for alternatives to google. i want out. i’m tired of being the product.
Not that hard thanks to open libre software. Just they need to break the habit with American software. Almost every privative American software has his open source counterpart
