Find European tech, software, and service alternatives that respect your data sovereignty, are built with GDPR in mind, and store data in Europe.
What is the European Tech Map?
A directory of products in 82 categories. You can search by type of product eg. surveys, design tools, cloud storage, communications, e-commerce, cyber-security and many more. The map search also provides an interesting reflection on tech companies/local economies as well as the option to search specifically.
You can use the product alternatives search to look for specific products and other options for well-known products like Mailchimp, Dropbox, Notion and Trello, as well as Amazon Web Services and other infrastructure.
There's a handy shortlist and compare tool, shown in this screenshot (grey line indicates where I edited out blank space/repeated info).
Why might I use this?
EU-based companies operate under GDPR jurisdiction and are built with privacy-first principles. Many offer EU data residency.
Using alternative providers to the big, chiefly US-based, means you can reduce dependency on non-EU tech providers and maintain control over your data. Many of the alternatives also offer self-hosting. The tool also includes information about open source and pricing.
