The European cloud industry is at a turning point: CISPE (Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe) has restructured itself to strengthen Europe’s digital independence. With a purely European leadership structure, the association is now even more focused on fair competition and digital sovereignty. Anexia will also play a key role in this crucial process: Alexander Windbichler, CEO of the Austrian cloud provider, has been elected to the CISPE board.
A European Response to Global Dependencies
The Austrian cloud provider Anexia has been a driving force for sustainable and sovereign cloud solutions in both European and global contexts for years. Windbichler sees his election as a confirmation of this commitment:
“I am excited to be part of the CISPE board from now on. CISPE has already made a name for itself through our fight against Broadcom’s competitive practices – but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Hyperscalers also influence sovereignty. However, Europe’s digital future must not be dictated by just a few global corporations. A strong, independent European cloud requires European leadership. With its new leadership structure, CISPE is making exactly that a reality – and I am proud to actively shape this development.”
CISPE and Anexia for a Strong European Cloud
With its new leadership structure, CISPE is driving forward targeted projects that promote the multi-cloud approach, open-source technologies, and climate-neutral data centers. Anexia is actively contributing its expertise to these developments, supporting European businesses and public institutions with secure, high-performance alternatives to global providers.
