About ECOFED

An Open European Cloud Ecosystem

ECOFED aims to enable seamless interoperability between European cloud providers, allowing organisations to deploy, migrate and scale applications without vendor lock-in while ensuring compliance with European regulations.

Our goal

Working together to create an open and federated European cloud

The objective and scope of the ECOFED project are to develop a technical framework for a more open and integrated cloud usage model. This framework will enable multiple clouds from various providers to function as a single, cohesive system, offering a European alternative to hyperscaler clouds. In this open cloud ecosystem, users can easily switch between different clouds, ensuring that their data is stored exclusively within the European Union. This approach ensures compliance with GDPR and other regulations, providing greater data ownership and security for large companies and technical experts interested in cloud federation.

A video introduction to ECOFED

The ECOFED project, which stands for European Cloud Services in an Open Federated Ecosystem, aims to create a more flexible and competitive cloud market in Europe. Unlike current systems, where companies often face high costs and technical difficulties when switching cloud providers—especially with large U.S. providers—ECOFED seeks to establish an open and interoperable cloud environment. This would allow businesses to easily switch between or combine different cloud services. By fostering competition and innovation through new technologies and EU legislation, this initiative could significantly transform the cloud landscape.
