Italy has stood at the forefront of European sovereign cloud initiatives , spearheading Digital Transformation and cloud migration . Programmes like the Triennial Plan for IT in Public Administration , the National Recovery and Resilience Plan ( PNRR ) and the Cloud Italia Strategy are just a few examples of Italy ’ s proactive role in evolving cloud offerings .
In light of this , organisations across the continent are increasingly relying on private cloud services as they navigate their cloud journey amid ever-changing socio-economic challenges .
The quest for digital sovereignty
Digital sovereignty has taken the front seat for many European states , with more EU-operating businesses wanting to take control of their own data . This drive has proved to be a boon for Italy ’ s data centre industry , positioning the country as a tempting option for local cloud providers .
Geopolitical events have also pushed collaboration across European countries to support this initiative , helping to fuel Italy ’ s expansion further .
What ’ s next for Italy ’ s cloud and data centre market ?
With enhanced localisation capabilities , greater familiarity with cultural assets and an in-depth understanding of the EU ’ s stringent rules and regulations , it comes as no surprise that regional cloud providers are becoming the new go-to for businesses across Europe . As momentum continues to build , Italy stands ready to reap the benefits of economic growth and solidify its position as a key player in the continent ’ s digital future . �
