Denmark’s government is shifting from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice as part of its digital sovereignty initiative. This move underscores a growing European Union focus on reducing dependence on non-European technology providers amid security, economic, and political concerns. By asserting control over digital infrastructure and data, EU leaders aim to mitigate risks associated with reliance on foreign companies that could potentially restrict access to essential services during geopolitical tensions. Issues such as a data breach involving Microsoft and the International Criminal Court illustrate the urgency of this transition.
"Denmark’s Minister of Digitalization, Caroline Stage, announced that the Danish government will start moving away from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, aiming for digital sovereignty."
"The EU's digital sovereignty moves are driven by a combination of security, economic, political, and societal imperatives, seeking to reduce dependence on foreign technology providers."
