European-developed office tools provide secure and privacy-compliant alternatives to mainstream software, enabling businesses and public entities to reduce reliance on non-European providers. These tools are crucial for maintaining control over sensitive business and government communications, ensuring compliance with GDPR and other EU regulations, and protecting users from foreign surveillance risks.

During the first event of this series, the discussion will focus on a range of solutions, including but not limited to:

• Videoconferencing software that ensures secure, GDPR-compliant communication while avoiding reliance on non-European platforms that may store data outside EU jurisdictions.
• Electronic signature solutions that meet EU regulatory requirements, allowing businesses and public institutions to handle contracts and administrative processes securely.
• File hosting and collaboration tools that keep data within Europe’s jurisdiction, ensuring privacy, security, and alignment with European digital sovereignty goals.
