NukeProof® Alliance
Manifesto for European Data Sovereignty
There’s a lot of talk about European data sovereignty. Rather than add to the chorus of complaints and inactivity, we are building a strategic alliance that will lead Europe to true data independence.
Escape the chokehold of hyperscalers
European data is increasingly at the mercy of foreign control. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon now account for more than 60% of the cloud market, while Chinese companies are pushing their own interests. Laws such as the US CLOUD Act undermine the very idea of sovereign data, totally disregarding where the data physically resides.
It’s time to take back control together
Europe has the talent, the technology and the willpower. What we lack is cohesive action.
A patchwork of local providers, startups, MSPs, and telcos struggles to compete with global hyperscalers on scale, capability and cost. NukeProof exists to bring these players together, forming a coalition that enables Europe to stand strong on its own terms.
Europe is strongest together
This is Europe’s moment of truth. Collaboration is part of our DNA, from shared markets and infrastructure to collective regulation and values.
NukeProof channels that spirit and unites independent European actors to create a sovereign cloud of our own.

FAQ
NukeProof Alliance is an initiative by SpaceTime, a Finnish data storage business, in response to the unhealthy dominance that hyperscaler businesses hold in Europe. It’s a coalition focused on bringing data sovereignty back to Europe through European-controlled infrastructure and shared rules that make resilient, sovereign deployments real at scale for Europe’s private, public and defense sectors.
The name NukeProof is an acknowledgement of why the internet was first built: to survive nuclear war. It was decentralised by design and resilient by necessity with no single point of failure. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that.
Today, much of the world's digital infrastructure depends on a handful of hyperscalers. When one region goes down, services across continents fail. An architecture designed for resilience has been replaced by fragile concentration. NukeProof returns the focus to the origins of the internet.
Your data is increasingly at the mercy of foreign control. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon now account for more than 60% of the cloud market, while Chinese companies are pushing their own interests. Laws such as the US CLOUD Act undermine the very idea of sovereign data, totally disregarding where the data physically resides. NukeProof Alliance is developing a collaborative approach to offer Europe-based cloud services to regain our continent's digital ownership.
NukeProof Alliance was started by SpaceTime, a Finland-based storage provider company, and it is open to all companies involved in the data, storage and digital industries. SpaceTime handles the data for thousands of European organisations and public sector entities. That’s given us a front row seat to understand the importance of data sovereignty in Europe.
SpaceTime is a founding member of the NukeProof Alliance, but we intend to be one of a number of members behind the organisation. We want SpaceTime to be one solution provider that’s part of the NukeProof Alliance, but this is a movement for the industry that’s bigger than any single company.
