EuroCloud

What EuroCloud does

EuroCloud Europe a.s.b.l. is a Luxembourg-registered non-profit association founded in 2013 that operates as a vendor-neutral, pan-European cloud innovation hub connecting cloud service providers, customers, SMEs, startups, and research centres. It runs a two-tier membership structure in which national EuroCloud organizations (e.g., EuroCloud Switzerland, EuroCloud Austria) participate and distribute programs locally, supported by an International Network of Privacy Law Professionals (INPLP) of more than 20 law firms. Its core offerings include the Cloud Privacy Check (CPC), a four-step data protection compliance assessment covering 33 countries and 26 languages; the EuroCloud StarAudit certification framework for cloud service quality; and a publication and events program spanning whitepapers, technical studies, and conferences such as Cloud Expo Europe, INPLP conferences, and the European Forum Alpbach.

The organization monetizes primarily through membership and participation fees, certification assessments under StarAudit, and event-related activities, with all pricing kept non-public and aligned to its non-profit status. Its technology footprint is modest: the CPC platform operates as a structured self-service tool at cloudprivacycheck.eu, StarAudit as a certification service at staraudit.org, and the INPLP at inplp.com, with no disclosed APIs, SDKs, or AI/ML components. EuroCloud has publicly supported the Gaia-X European Association for Data and Cloud AISBL since 2022, positioning its vendor-neutral guidance alongside the EU's data sovereignty agenda. The EuroCloud® trademark is registered with EUIPO, and the organization claims a global footprint across more than 50 countries through its extended INPLP legal network.
