Office.eu officially launched today in The Hague as Europe's first fully sovereign office platform, built on open-source technology and running entirely on European infrastructure. The platform offers a European-owned alternative to Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, enabling organizations to regain control over their data and digital operations. Security Delta (HSD), a key digital governance hub in The Hague, supports the initiative, emphasizing its role in strengthening Europe's digital sovereignty and contributing to a secure, open digital future.

Designed as a complete office suite, Office.eu combines document editing, collaboration tools, and secure data storage while fully complying with EU data protection laws. The CEO, Maarten Roelfs, highlights the platform's intuitive design for seamless migration from American software, offering tools to facilitate smooth transitions from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Pricing is comparable to existing market alternatives, with a phased rollout planned across Europe in Q2 2026, initially by invitation for selected clients.

This launch addresses growing concerns about digital dependency and data sovereignty, positioning Office.eu as a strategic alternative rooted in European values and infrastructure. The company, founded in 2024, aims for widespread adoption across Europe, particularly among SMEs and private individuals, offering a secure, compliant solution free from non-European control.
