Office.eu, the 100% European-owned alternative to widely used productivity platforms like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, has officially launched today in The Hague. Built on open-source technology and running entirely on European infrastructure, Office.eu enables organizations to regain control over their data and digital operations.
“We have seen how essential it is to become cloud-independent and rely on software built around European values,” said Maarten Roelfs, CEO of Office.eu. “For many years, Europe has been dependent on American software and therefore created a certain risk of dependency, but we have also given up control over our data. Office.eu proves that we now have a strong European alternative, with sovereignty, privacy and transparency at its core.”
The platform has been tested by early adopters across Europe in recent months. Designed as a complete office suite, Office.eu combines document editing, collaboration and secure data storage while fully complying with EU data protection law.
The launch comes at a time of growing concerns about digital dependency and data sovereignty. Recent geopolitical developments have underlined the strategic importance of secure, independent digital infrastructure within Europe.
Maarten Roelfs explains the company’s position: “Office.eu is 100% European owned and runs entirely on European data centers. Data and apps stay exactly where they belong and are protected from non-European control. The Office Suite is very intuitive and easy to use which enables a seamless switch from US software to Office.eu. We also help customers migrate very easily from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is currently available for selected Available across Europe by invitation, pricing is comparable to existing market options and potential customers are welcome to apply. A broader, phased European rollout is planned for Q2 2026. It is available across Europe, with pricing comparable to existing market options and facilitating smooth data migration.
“Security Delta (HSD) is proud that Office.eu has its roots in The Hague, the International City of Peace and Justice. In this city we work together and we are a leading center for digital governance, cybersecurity and innovation. The City actively supports initiatives that strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty and contribute to a secure, open and resilient digital future.”
– Joris Den Bruinen, General Director of Security Delta (HSD)
