In the online technology market, we are known in the Netherlands as disruptors. With well-known brands like Mijndomein and Metaregistrar, we shook up the domain name and hosting market. Today, Mijndomein is a leading player supporting small businesses in every step of their digital transformation.
Concerns about cloud data security and ownership are front-page news. Geopolitical developments and the rapid rise of AI are forcing us to look differently at Europe’s digital infrastructure. As pioneers in the online world, we and our active community push for a safer, more independent and more open model. We are already participating in solutions and expect to be involved in many new initiatives in the years to come.
Through our online brands we are working on European cloud and AI solutions, sustainable data centres that reuse their residual heat for public buildings, and open-source initiatives that truly safeguard digital sovereignty. This often runs counter to Big Tech’s direction, but that suits us perfectly.
