Among the company's many impressive accomplishments is a 62% growth of its Azure cloud service.

The leaderboard in the cloud wars saga has remained stagnant, with a few powerhouses dominating market share: US-based companies AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, as well as China's Alibaba.

In the absence of European cloud companies emerging as top contenders, concerns arise around the lack of data sovereignty and self-determination as European companies increasingly rely on foreign cloud services.

The presence of Gaia-X illustrates a changing cloud future.

If Europe wants a greater share of the cloud market, leaders will need to invest in more cloud computing projects like Gaia-X, drive efforts to improve security and develop the right regulations to gain ground in a new cloud-powered future.
