Founder and Chairman (and CEO) of OVHcloud, Europe's largest cloud computing provider
Defence now depends on cloud, data and AI. In the current context, Europe can no longer afford to depend on non-European technologies: it must have high-performance, sovereign alternatives.

Verified. The OVHcloud primary source URL (corporate.ovhcloud.com/.../ovhcloud-defence-europe) returns HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but a web search corroborated the exact quote verbatim: "Defence now depends on cloud, data and AI" and "Europe can no longer afford to depend on non-European technologies: it must have high-performance, sovereign alternatives." These statements are attributed to Octave Klaba, Founder/Chairman of OVHcloud, in the context of OVHcloud launching a European defence cloud unit (also corroborated by DataCenterDynamics coverage). Year 2026 is current. The quote clearly supports the statement "The EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce dependence on US cloud providers," and the associated vote is "for", which aligns correctly. Source URL is the appropriate primary source.
