The DOME marketplace: Building a trusted, unified cloud & edge ecosystem for Europe Digital sovereignty remains a strategic priority for Europe, aiming to strengthen its digital resilience and empower European companies to compete globally in a trusted and transparent environment. Europe’s cloud and edge market is growing rapidly but remains fragmented. European providers are losing ground to more mature global competitors, while localized strategies and traditional sales models limit their reach and create strategic risks tied to reliance on foreign technologies. Fragmentation also makes it difficult for organisations to find trusted providers, compare services, ensure compliance, and maintain data sovereignty, while SMEs face challenges in certification, market adaptation, visibility, and competing with larger players.
