Quick Summary

France is experiencing a digital sovereignty crisis, with 72% of cloud budget going to American giants.

Key Points

  • 72% of French cloud budget flows to American tech companies
  • Lack of strategic investment in domestic tech innovation
  • Systemic challenges in supporting French technology startups

Why It Matters

The overwhelming dependence on foreign cloud providers creates significant economic and strategic vulnerabilities. By surrendering technological infrastructure to external actors, France risks compromising its economic independence, innovation potential, and long-term technological capabilities. The inability to develop sovereign digital solutions could lead to increased operational costs, reduced technological flexibility, and potential national security risks.
