Business code: On the way to more European technology in Bonn

Business code is committed to European technology

Bonn, April 16, 2025 - Business code sets a strong sign in the current discussion about digital sovereignty and data protection by increasingly relying on European technology alternatives. The legal advisor and authorized representative of business code, Bernd Daamen, emphasizes that in discussions with customers it is already pointed out to existing European alternatives, wherever this is possible.

An internal survey shows that an overwhelming majority of 90 % of employees want more European technology in the company. Furthermore, more than half of the respondents also stated that they also think about moving to European alternatives in their private life. The main reasons for this are the pursuit of independence, data protection and the guarantee of security.

In a age of geopolitical uncertainties, Daamen sees digital sovereignty as a strategic need. He emphasizes that European companies not only have the ability but also responsibility to promote and actively use European technologies. The challenge is to replace existing tools that are integrated deep into everyday work with European solutions. However, this sees this as an opportunity for innovation and encourages employees to break new ground.

Business code presents a selection of promising European solutions, such as the open source platform NextCloud for data management and collaboration, Only as office and project solution as well as agile project management with tools such as afork and championship. In addition, the French Ki Startup Mistral Ai with its data protection-oriented chatbot le chat is highlighted as an interesting alternative to larger, established systems.

Daamen speaks of the need to rethink within Europe in order to promote the visibility and use of European technologies. Business code sees itself as a pioneer and invites other companies and private users to deal with these alternatives more intensively. The platform European-Adentativees.eu is recommended as a valuable resource to get an overview of existing technologies. CEO Martin Schulze confirms: "We are not allowed to leave the digital future of Europe to others. We have to design it ourselves." The company is also planning a survey to further raise awareness and interest in European technology solutions.
