The following article provides data on the growth of interest in European clouds since the start of the year.

Main points:

- Opencloud: 62% increase in users since January
- Magic Earth: Over 250% growth in six weeks
- Nextcloud: Three times more inquiries
- Ionos has experienced an increased demand, particularly from the security and defence sectors
- Leitzcloud: Customers are seeking enhanced security

Is there more data about other companies?

It'd be great to find out how much of an impact this movement is actually having. :)

Our latest European shiny alternative is Pixii 🇫🇷, a French camera manufacturer. 📷

The company was founded in 2017 by David Barth, an entrepreneur who worked on Linux development for Ubuntu for almost 10 years, helping to develop and make Ubuntu more accessible.

He couldn't find the photo camera he wanted, so he decided to make one.

Pixii cameras are designed and made in Besançon, a city famous for its watchmaking and precision engineering. The final assembly of the camera happens there, but the parts that make up the camera come from different places. The mechanical parts are made in the Vosges region of France, while the electronic components are sourced from Germany and China.

The company's graphical designer, Isabelle Colas, has experience from the luxury and watchmaking industries, and she is responsible for the #Pixii cameras' elegant design. Her work has won the company awards like the Red Dot Design Award.

Pixii is competing with Leica 🇩🇪, but it works with #Leica's lenses. It's aimed both at #photography fans and the "Instagram generation". Despite challenges in increasing production, Barth's approach has attracted international attention and financial backing, including investments from people with experience in the industry.

Today is a good day to replace some U.S. big tech oligopolist's service with a European alternative. As is tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow too.

I'm not saying that it will be easy all the time. But it's necessary.

Want to get started? There are few helpful websites out there (european-alternatives.eu/ for example).

European AlternativesHomepage | European AlternativesWe help you find European alternatives for digital service and products, like cloud services and SaaS products.

European startup landscape:

You may not be familiar with Rocket Internet 🇩🇪, a German company founded by the Samwer brothers, that is the driving force behind numerous digital platforms, including Zalando, Delivery Hero, Foodora, Hellofresh, Dafiti, Home24 etc.

Previously, Rocket Internet was criticised for its approach of building platforms to compete against other companies ("copycat" strategy). They also have achieved growth through the acquisition of foreign companies or the sale of their own to major competitors.

Some people may not like this kind of strategy, but this has provided people with more European alternatives. (see the images for an example although some of those companies may no longer exist).

Rocket Internet is also an incubator of online business models and invests in start-ups through its venture capital arm, Global Founders Capital. They support early-stage startup founders with $ and strategy. According to their website, they have a portfolio of over 200 companies in various stages of development, employing approximately 42,000 people worldwide, with a total valuation of EUR 30 billion.

Posteo hab ich seit 14 Jahren. Die sind auch sehr nachsichtig, wenn man die Aufbuchung verschwitzt. Also nix mit Konto gesperrt.
Zusatzoptionen sind sehr granular. Strom von Greenplanet Energy und bei GLS.

Im Gegensatz zu Tuta hab ich das seit 14J bei Thunderbird mit meinen anderen Mailaccounts.

Tuta hab ich aber auch als free app und bin damit zufrieden.

Wie der Support ist, weiss ich nicht. Musste ich noch nie nutzen.

Mailbox kenne ich aus Empfehlung von Bekannten.

Sind alle 10000000besser als Google oder microsoft.

Zum Ende: Warum ich auch bei posteo bleibe ist, dass sie nicht wahllos Konten an die Polizei herausgeben, nur wenn der Rechtsrahmen erfüllt ist. Den fordern sie aktiv ein. Auch hier habe ich nie Anlass zur Sorge gehabt, aber da geht es ums Prinzip und Firmenphilosophie.

"Mexico and Canada will not be affected by the 90-day pause on tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, a White House official said.

The United States' 25% tariff on goods it imports from Mexico and Canada that are not covered under the region's USMCA trade pact remains in effect, the official said, adding that energy and potash from the two countries will also continue be tariffed at 10%."

It would be embarrassing for Europeans to be seen with Apple AirPods or Google Pixel Buds at this point. Embrace choice! Here are some major European brands that embrace color and design. There is something for every style and budget.

Bang & Olufsen (Denmark)
Beyerdynamic (Germany)
Devialet (France)
Fairpods by Fairphone (Netherlands)
Hama (Germany)
Jabra (Denmark)
Libratone (Denmark)
Onesonic (Ireland)
Sennheiser (Germany)
Wavell (Denmark)

Edit: Philips removed, it’s just a licensed brand produced by a Chinese company.
