The report details various initiatives and providers in the French market, showcasing the nation's efforts to maintain control over critical digital infrastructure and data, while balancing innovation and compliance with national and EU standards."We see France at the forefront of digital sovereignty by essence, but also as the battleground for data control, cybersecurity, and independence initiatives, turning global uncertainties and geopolitical tensions into a storm for innovations." - Senior Research Analyst Remi Letemple, IDC Government Insights
