European cloud service providers (CSPs) have been partnering with established technology providers to deliver real sovereign capability, without rebuilding the entire technology stack from scratch. The best time to plant the sovereign tree was 10 years ago If Europe wants to grow its industrial base, it has to support the ecosystem as it is now, not as it may in 10 years’ time. CADA’s own roadmap assumes roughly five to seven years to triple the EU’s data-center capacity. Providers who have already built capacity by blending EU capabilities…
Published on 12/10/2026 – 7:22 GMT+2 North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles off its east coast, Seoul’s military said on Monday, after weeks of mounting friction over a landmine explosion along the heavily fortified border that divides both countries.

Rents continue to rise across Europe, and some countries are particularly affected. In many European nations, rent increases are outpacing overall inflation, and households in Romania and Croatia have been hit especially hard by recent rent increases. So, what factors are driving the recent rise in rents, and why do Romania and Croatia stand out as outliers within the EU?

Rent inflation ranged from zero in Finland to 43.5% in Romania, closely followed by Croatia at 40.1%, according to Eurostat. Overall…

Donald Trump verkündet eine „Energie-Waffenruhe“ zwischen der Ukraine und Russland an. Fraglich allerdings ist, was die beiden Länder davon wirklich wissen. Um den heimischen Druck durch steigende Ölpreise abzufedern, lockert Trump zuvor die Sanktionen gegen Russland. Weil er dafür von Wolodymyr Selenskyj kritisiert wird, fordert er, die Ukraine brauche einen neuen Präsidenten. Währenddessen ringen die EU-Außenminister in Luxemburg um ein neues Sanktionspaket gegen Russland. Hans von der Burchard ordnet zusammen mit Rixa Fürsen ein, wie Europa die russische Schattenflotte stoppen will und welche Konsequenzen der Drohnenangriff von Leipzig wirklich hat. Im Konrad-Adenauer-Haus herrscht derweil Krisenstimmung bei herbstlichem Wetter. Angesichts verheerender…
