05.09.2026 –, Europasaal A
Europe has spent years debating its digital destiny. But talk is cheap, and hyperscaler invoices are not. As the AI infrastructure arms race accelerates, can European alternatives keep pace? Or is it even possible to ship a production-ready, cloud-native application today entirely on European infrastructure?
Outline
- The Reality Check: Europe consumes far more cloud computing than it produces.
- The Players: From well-known hyperscalers like AWS, Azure and GCP to lesser-known but credible European alternatives.
- Cloud-Native on European Infrastructure: A practical look at where European providers deliver and
where they fall short. - The European AI Infrastructure: Can European providers serve AI workloads competitively today?
- The TCO comparison: Is there a cost to choosing European sovereignty over
hyperscaler convenience? - The Verdict: Hybrid and multi-cloud as a strategy.
Key takeaways
This talk offers a practical view on what the European cloud landscape looks like today. Which lead to practical strategy at Denovo built from real-world decisions, not ideal ones.
