European biz calls for Euro tech for local people

Danish consultancy Netcompany is the latest European business to warn of dependency on US technology as unpredictability in the White House continues to eat away at trust in the country overseas.

In a post on its home page, CEO André Rogaczewski called for “European solutions—built by European companies, run on European data, and accountable to European citizens.”

“From social media to cloud infrastructure,” he writes, “from applications to algorithms, we are dependent on technologies developed elsewhere, by actors who may not share our values.

“This places our security, sovereignty, and democracy at risk.”
