Digital Sovereignty: our European Commitment
We build on European foundations to ensure our clients operate in a digital environment where transparency, security, and data control are not optional, but geographically grounded guarantees.
Europe as a value choice: our path toward Digital Sovereignty
At Leanbit, we believe innovation reaches its full potential when it is free, transparent, and close to the people who use it. For this reason, our decision to focus on European digital sovereignty is not a barrier, but an opening: we choose to build on EU technological foundations to provide our clients with an ecosystem where data security and process transparency are natively ensured by our laws and standards.
The evolution
Our vision: beyond Dependency
We grew alongside American tech giants, but today we choose Europe. This is not ideology, it is strategy. We want technology to return to being a tool for freedom and control, not dependency. To evolve means deciding where our digital future resides.
The criteria
Manifesto: the Leanbit filter
We apply a pragmatic criterion: EU → EFTA → UK. We prioritise partners headquartered and owned in Europe, provided they meet the same standards of technical and economic reliability. We strengthen the single market through concrete decisions, ensuring proximity and real value for our clients.
Security
Open source & privacy: native transparency
Without open source, the digital world would not exist. We prioritise FOSS projects and Zero Trust models with end-to-end encryption. For us, privacy is not a bureaucratic requirement, but a core pillar of software architecture that protects our clients’ businesses.
The tools
Our stack: tested, honest, European
We use what we recommend. Our daily operations rely on European excellence. Encrypted communication: Proton, Tuta and Matrix. Team productivity: Infomaniak. Sovereign cloud providers: Infomaniak and Scaleway. It’s a clear choice: less dependence on global giants, more control over data.
Future choices
A three-year plan for a stronger European digital future
We have defined a three-year development plan that concretely guides our technology decisions. We prioritise companies and tools with headquarters, governance, and infrastructure based in Europe, capable of delivering stability, continuity, and high security standards. It is a structured, progressive commitment designed to ensure our clients receive a reliable service today and a sustainable one for the long term.

European sovereignty
Our approach is an honest account
Does choosing Europe require a small adjustment compared to US tech giants? Sometimes yes, in terms of a few milliseconds of latency or different habits. But the value of owning your data and supporting our digital economy is an investment that pays off every day in freedom and security.
