When a company like Airbus wants to bring PLM workloads into a sovereign cloud, things get serious: labels no longer count, only verifiable requirements do. Yet according to The Register, Catherine Jestin, EVP Digital at Airbus, speaks of only an “80/20” chance of finding a solution — among other things because of questions about the performance of European providers and open questions about extraterritorial influence.
I think Europe should turn an 80/20 chance into a 100/0. And I believe Europe can do it.
If a company the size of Airbus gives a sovereign cloud solution only an 80/20 chance, it shows that digital sovereignty is no longer an academic debate. It is a question of verifiable requirements — and a perfect opening for European providers to close that gap.
