Edge video delivery network provider MainStreaming has announced its participation in the Euro Stack initiative and has signed the Euro Stack Open Letter to the European Commission, advocating for a stronger, independent digital infrastructure in Europe.
Euro Stack is a collective of European technology companies and organisations that are aiming to ensure that Europe’s digital future is built on open, competitive, and sovereign foundations. The goal is to create a robust ecosystem that supports European businesses and protects the continent’s strategic autonomy in the digital space, by fostering collaboration between cloud, platform, and service providers across the continent.
MainStreaming said it supports the view that Europe must nurture its own technology champions, reduce dependency on external providers, and build a collaborative ecosystem that drives innovation while safeguarding the continent's digital assets.
Antonio Corrado, founder and chairman of MainStreaming, said: “Joining Euro Stack is a natural step for MainStreaming, as we share the initiative’s mission to build a sovereign and collaborative European digital ecosystem. Our intelligent media delivery solutions already empower broadcasters, telcos, and enterprises within Europe, and we believe that through collective action, we can accelerate innovation and secure Europe's digital future.”
