How Internet Exchanges are making Europe's cloud landscape more sovereign

As European companies and states increasingly seek digital sovereignty to mitigate geopolitical risks and dependency on global hyperscalers, Internet Exchanges are playing a crucial role. By enabling controlled, private data exchange and supporting hybrid and multicloud strategies, these platforms allow businesses to keep critical data within regional jurisdictions while optimizing performance. Projects like the Deucalion supercomputer in Portugal and the push for an Iberian AI 'gigafactory' further underscore Europe's commitment to building independent, high-performance computing infrastructure.
