Interesting that Lidl only recently made news about moves into the cloud computing area.
Reading the article "German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier, speaking in Berlin, described Gaia-X as a “moonshot” that would help reassert Europe’s technological sovereignty, and invited other countries and companies to join." It's not clear if this is limited to European based countries and companies only and if not, kinda moots the statement a bit.
Be interesting how this progresses and competition is good and some standards would also work well. Though I do fear that the usual company suspects will pile into this pie just because they have a European satellite office, like Amazon, Google, Microsoft.....
I hope this is an EU wide initiative and not just another FraGer based one for many reasons.
So many questions and could just be a tool to bash the Tech giants into opening up more.
