Denmark's Minister for Digital Affairs, Caroline Olsen, announced a significant policy shift to replace Microsoft software with LibreOffice within her ministry, aiming for half of the computers to transition in the first month and complete replacement by year-end. This decision mirrors similar actions taken by Copenhagen and Aarhus city governments, emphasizing a growing emphasis on digital sovereignty in Denmark. The strategic move reflects a collective mindset among various European nations, as they increasingly seek independence from dominant tech providers like Microsoft amid geopolitical tensions.
"The plan is that half the staff's computers - including her own - would have LibreOffice in place of Microsoft Office 365 in the first month, with the goal of total replacement by the end of the year."
"The move follows similar ones by the city governments of Copenhagen and Aarhus, reflecting a wider interest in digital sovereignty among Danish leadership and other European nations."
