Europe's sovereign computing stack. Local-first. Clusters when you want it to.
In 2025, the ICC's Chief Prosecutor was locked out of Microsoft Outlook by US sanctions. France is moving 2.5 million civil servants off Zoom and Teams. European cloud providers hold just 15% of their own market. The dependency is no longer theoretical — it's an active political and operational crisis.
Three products. One architecture. Zero cloud dependency.

The 2025-2026 period has made digital sovereignty the defining issue in European technology policy. US sanctions lock out international courts. The CLOUD Act threatens citizen data in US-acquired providers. Trade negotiations are used to roll back EU tech regulation. This is not a future risk — it is happening today, and European organizations need infrastructure they actually control. See the Platform Narrative for the full context.
| Layer | Product | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Macula | Mesh networking without the cloud — QUIC, peer-to-peer |
| Data | ReckonDB | Event sourcing that fits in your pocket — pure BEAM, Raft consensus |
| Platform | Hecate | Computing in a briefcase — local-first AI agents, own your infrastructure |
| Vertical | Why Sovereignty Changes Everything |
|---|---|
| Telecom Operators | NIS2 classifies you as critical infrastructure. Edge compute on US cloud platforms is now a compliance and geopolitical liability. BEAM heritage means Macula speaks your language natively. |
| Datacenter Operators | Your customers watched the Kyndryl-Solvinity crisis unfold — a US acquisition threatening Dutch citizen data. "Sovereign Compute" is no longer a differentiator, it's a requirement they're actively procuring. |
| Hosting Providers | France, Germany, and Austria are migrating millions of government workstations off US platforms. The sovereign cloud market is projected at €100B by 2031. "Sovereign VPS" is the product they're looking for. |
| Software Companies | Plugin ecosystem, AI agents, bespoke platform without platform fees — and no risk that a foreign policy decision shuts down your distribution channel overnight. |
| Enterprises | Your Microsoft 365 is under US jurisdiction. The CLOUD Act applies to your data. Healthcare, legal, financial, manufacturing — every regulated European business needs infrastructure outside US legal reach. |
| Consumers | Your digital life runs on someone else's computer. Own your compute. Run AI locally. Join the mesh economy — your idle hardware becomes an income-generating asset. |
