The NukeProof Alliance, a new initiative by Finnish firm SpaceTime, aims to unite European cloud providers against hyperscaler dominance. It argues that foreign control, citing US CLOUD Act laws and a market dominated by Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, threatens data sovereignty. The alliance seeks to build a collaborative, resilient cloud infrastructure on European soil.

Europe possesses the talent and technology but lacks a unified front. The alliance plans to combine local providers, startups, and telcos into a coalition. This counters the scale and cost advantages of global giants, addressing a fragmented market that struggles to compete independently. The goal is a sovereign cloud built on cooperation.

The name nods to the internet's original decentralized, nuclear-survival design. Today's infrastructure, reliant on a few hyperscalers, is seen as fragile. NukeProof wants to restore that resilient architecture. It invites data and storage companies to join, offering a path for European digital ownership and a counter to concentrated cloud power.
