Expert perspectives on European digital sovereignty, open-source strategy, and breaking free from US tech dependency.
IT Strategy
Fixing your laptop is about 3% of what IT does. The other 97% is a sprawling, invisible operation that keeps your entire digital existence from collapsing into a smoking heap, and which receives the recognition typically afforded to the office air conditioning.
Data Protection
A quick personal search, a family message from a corporate email, or a health appointment booked on a company laptop does not make that data the property of your employer. Across ten very different legal systems, the same principle recurs: privacy does not stop at the office door.
Digital Sovereignty
Every laptop in your office is probably running Windows or macOS, with every byte under US legal jurisdiction. I bought a Star Labs Horizon with Zorin OS to find out if Linux can replace it all.
IT Strategy
In the SMB world, everything is connected. A single, apparently small alteration in one corner of the network can send shocks through the entire organisation.
IT Strategy
The traditional build-vs-buy heuristic is no longer sufficient. This white paper re-examines Total Cost of Ownership through the lens of immediate change, data sovereignty, and AI-generated code.
AI & Ethics
As international aid agencies adopt digital tools, using AI to create and review deliverable documentation offers both benefits and difficulties. A guide for project managers and compliance officers.
Digital Sovereignty
Vendor lock-in extends beyond individual contracts and impacts geopolitics and regional strategic autonomy. Over 70% of European companies rely on at least one major US tech provider for core operations.
Digital Sovereignty
In 2026, European technological autonomy has become an urgent strategic imperative rather than a theoretical policy debate. Digital sovereignty underpins the future security, economic competitiveness, and democratic resilience of the EU.
Leadership
For decades, the annual review has anchored corporate life. But in a fast-paced, iterative working environment, does a once-a-year ritual help us improve or do we stick with it out of habit?
Digital Sovereignty
European reliance on US-based cloud infrastructure for core business operations is a strategic concern. Proton Suite offers a compelling, all-European solution for de-risking whilst keeping data within Europe.
AI & Ethics
Generative AI platforms like Grok pose risks to social welfare, democratic culture, and vulnerable groups. The "user choice" framework shifts responsibility from corporations to individuals, reducing corporate accountability.
AI & Ethics
AI has huge potential, but right now there is a real problem: too much hype and a rush to adopt without enough thought. This paper calls for a more careful, needs-based approach.
