For Sovereignty Advocates

Europe has the regulatory framework, the technical talent, and the economic resources to build its own digital infrastructure. What’s been missing is the organizational model that can sustain it.
A cooperative provides that model: member-owned, democratically governed, legally anchored in Europe, and structurally resistant to foreign acquisition.
