EU backs telco digital sovereignty project with EUR 75 mln for edge infrastructure
Telefonica and the European Commission have launched EURO-3C, a EUR 75 million project to build a pan-European, "sovereign" edge cloud infrastructure for telecom operators.
The project aims to give European telcos more control over where and how data is processed by developing shared infrastructure across the region, rather than relying solely on large non-European cloud providers. The funding will support deployment of edge computing resources that keep data and services closer to users, under European rules and oversight.
