How much would it raise though? Money staying in the EU as well.
The report argues that restrictions favoring European cloud providers would leave governments and businesses facing hefty bills to migrate workloads and rewrite software. It puts direct public-sector costs at €33.3 billion, with a further €80 billion potentially falling on private companies in sectors including banking, healthcare, energy, and transport.
So those €115B is the cost of decoupling from Trumpland. If governments go Linux and FOSS in their software, that will save so much money in the long run
🤣
yeaaaaah… thats not really that impressive given the 2026 GDP of the entire EU is measured in the trillions, not billions.
At the moment. The longer it goes on the higher the cost.
Sounds extremely worth it.
Schleswig-Holstein migrated and it cost 9 million. Which was offset by about 16 million in license fees that they saved by migrating to open source and own datacentres.
