Golem.de is reporting about an increasing interest of European companies and people to buy European cloud services.

According to the article Open cloud reports 62% more users. Nextcloud would see a threefold of inquiries.

According to golem, major contributers to the trend would be corporation's and official state agencies. Private consumers would also contribute, but at a much lower scale.

Comment: I think this is great news. Things are changing not only on a personal level, but on a corporation level. I think this is super important because a huge portion of revenues of the tech companies is done in B2B. Yet, it is important for us to keep spreading the message. The more we speak about the topic, to further it grows in our societies. We need to use the momentum to emphasize the significance of a change.
