""SUSE, in its nature, is a European company. We are registered in Europe, everything is in Europe. If we get acquired by another shareholder, even if the shareholder would be American, we are still a European company with shareholders in America. But we are operating according to European laws.""
""We're a European company, but our customers are global customers, and that's super important. American customers focus on data security: who owns it, who has access, who controls the keys. Europeans, by contrast, frame the problem differently.""
SUSE focused on its European identity and digital sovereignty at SUSECON, despite reports of a potential $6 billion sale to a US buyer. CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen stated that SUSE remains a European company, operating under European laws, regardless of shareholder nationality. The potential acquisition raises concerns about data privacy under the US CLOUD Act. SUSE's Global Head of Sovereign Solutions, Andreas Prins, noted the differing perspectives of US and European customers on data ownership and security, highlighting the complexities of maintaining sovereignty in a global market.
