Mélodium signs the EuroStack open letter on digital sovereignty

Mélodium is a signatory of “Open Letter: European Industry Calls for Strong Commitment to Sovereign Digital Infrastructure ”, addressed to European Commission President Von der Leyen and Executive Vice-President Virkkunen on 14 March 2025, alongside the other signatories  backing the EuroStack Initiative .

What the letter asks for

The letter calls on the Commission to treat European digital sovereignty as an industrial policy problem, not a research grant line item: procurement rules that let public buyers actually choose European-led solutions, pooling and federating the European assets that already exist instead of starting from scratch, a certification path for sovereign cloud that meets EUCS High+ criteria, and a Sovereign Infrastructure Fund to back the capital-intensive parts of the stack.

Why Mélodium signed

Mélodium already runs on European infrastructure by default, Scaleway for compute, Clever Cloud for hosting, and is open-source under the EUPL. Signing the letter is a statement that the choice to build that way shouldn’t be the exception; it’s what the letter is actually asking the Commission to make easier for everyone building in Europe.
