So how are they approaching these new regulations?

So what we see happening is that the European Union is imposing new regulations.

On the other hand, we have the US Cloud Act, which extends extraterritorial control, intensifying the debate over who truly governs the data.

And there is, of course, friction between both of them.

So Louis, according to you, there is, well, the general assumption that when you store your data on European soil, your data is safe.

But that's not really the case, is it?

But I'd like to refer to what happened in June this year, 2025, with Microsoft in France.

They publicly admitted it cannot legally refuse if US authorities are demanding access to data stored here in Europe.

So that was a confession that changed the mindset with a lot of business leaders.

So it is a huge sovereignty risk, especially when very sensible data is being stored.

Do you see that change?

But do you see that business leaders or CIOs are taking action and they're changing their mind regarding the dependence on American hyperscalers?

Are they taking action?

Are they thinking about moving away their data from those hyperscalers to European?

Yes, indeed.

Yeah, of course, companies want to have access to their data all the time.

And that reminds us of what happened with the major outage with Amazon Web Services.

It disrupted the services globally.

Incidents like these should, of course, be avoided.

But how can it impact the strategy of companies here?
