In a decisive move, Dutch parliamentarians have passed eight motions aimed at urging the government to reduce reliance on US tech companies. Concerns over digital sovereignty and data security led to calls for the creation of a national cloud and prioritization of local service providers. MP Barbara Kathmann emphasized that continued dependence on American technology erodes Dutch expertise and jeopardizes national interests. The motions advocate for a strategic halt to migrations towards US giants, promoting opportunities for Dutch firms in the tech landscape.
