🎙️ Our Founder and CTO Joel Pihlajamaa featured on Yle Yesterday, our Founder and CTO Joel Pihlajamaa joined Ylen aamu, Yle's national morning TV program in Finland, taking part in an important discussion on the global dynamics of cloud infrastructure, data governance, and digital sovereignty. In the interview, Joel highlighted how the cloud market is increasingly shaped by geopolitical interests and why Europe cannot afford to be dependent on non-European hyperscalers when it comes to critical digital infrastructure. Where data lives, who ultimately controls it, and which laws apply are no longer just technical considerations, they have become strategic questions with real-world consequences for security and long-term competitiveness. Joel also spoke about the role European cloud providers can play in building a more balanced, transparent, and trustworthy digital ecosystem, where customers know where their data lives and under which laws it is governed. We're happy and proud to see these topics gaining wider attention and to contribute to a public conversation that truly matters for the future of European technology and innovation. 📺 Watch the full segment on Yle Areena (in Finnish): https://lnkd.in/dcJ9vfdT #DigitalSovereignty #EuropeanCloud #CloudInfrastructure #DataGovernance #UpCloud #Yle
