Luxembourg scores 17.72 in the new Digital Sovereignty Index — above the EU average — but there’s still room to grow. Here’s why hosting your website or cloud in Luxembourg is a step toward securing your data and supporting local sovereignty.
The Digital Sovereignty Index (DSI), recently published by open-source leader Nextcloud, measures the adoption of self-hosted and privacy-friendly technologies across more than 50 countries. Finland leads the ranking with a score of 64.5, followed by Germany (53.85) and the Netherlands (36.32).
Luxembourg’s score? 17.72, placing us above the EU average of 16.31 — a solid position that reflects our country’s growing awareness of the importance of controlling our own digital infrastructure.
Why Digital Sovereignty Matters
Digital sovereignty is about more than just technology — it’s about who controls your data. Hosting your website, files, or communications in a trusted jurisdiction like Luxembourg helps you:
- Keep your data under Luxembourg and EU law (GDPR-compliant by default)
- Avoid vendor lock-in from big tech monopolies
- Support local infrastructure and reduce dependency on foreign cloud providers
- Protect sensitive information from unwanted access or surveillance
As Nextcloud’s founder, Frank Karlitschek, noted in the report:
“Government organizations are deeply dependent on foreign big tech providers, while individuals and small companies actually show they care about digital sovereignty.”
That means your hosting choices matter — every self-hosted deployment contributes to Luxembourg’s score and strengthens our national position.
Luxembourg: A Strategic Place for Your Cloud
With 2,747 servers serving a population of just 692,000 people, Luxembourg already punches above its weight when it comes to infrastructure. Our strategic location, political stability, and robust privacy laws make the Grand Duchy one of the safest places in Europe to host your data.
By hosting in Luxembourg, you’re not only securing your digital assets — you’re also helping to push our sovereignty score higher, ensuring that more of Europe’s digital future stays in European hands.
