About

A data publication about who sells AI to Europe's public sector

What

Follow the Stack tracks public contracts for AI and cloud services across Europe: who buys, who wins, and how much is spent. Each week we publish one chart, the data behind it as a CSV, and a short note on what it shows and what it doesn't.

The UK already has this kind of tracking. Continental Europe doesn't, even though public money and policy on "sovereign AI" make the question urgent.

Why

Europe's debate about digital sovereignty mostly runs on speeches and strategies. Contract awards show what institutions actually commit money to. We want that evidence to be easy to find, cite and check.

Who

Follow the Stack is written by Gustav Norrelund.

It is independent: no sponsors, no advertising, and we don't take payment for coverage. More about Gustav.
