- EU aims to cut its reliance on U.S. cloud providers that together hold about 70% of the European market.
- Amazon (alongside Microsoft and Google) dominates roughly 70% of EU cloud services, while U.S. software vendors capture 80% of enterprise spend.
- Google launches a free Gemini Mac app for macOS, expanding AI integration even as EU regulators push back on U.S. tech dominance.
Why it matters: EU governments will push US cloud providers to relinquish roughly 30% of the European market, while European enterprises will incur higher procurement costs as they move away from the 70%‑dominant Amazon‑Microsoft‑Google ecosystem, tightening regulatory scrutiny on U.S. tech.
