The idea: sovereign together

Europe has excellent manufacturers for every layer of enterprise IT – the directory souveraenitaet.info proves it with well over a hundred entries. What was missing was the connection: Who ships these products, who plans with them, who builds, who operates? Who makes sure that firewall, hypervisor, groupware and ERP end up working as one infrastructure?

souveraen.network answers these questions. Manufacturers develop the products; distributors, system integrators, service providers, consultants, providers and resellers bring them to the customer – and all of them are members of the same cooperative. Not a loose partner alliance, but an organisation with its own legal form, shared rules and pooled purchasing power.

Why a cooperative

Because it is the only legal form that fits the goal. A cooperative belongs to its members, not to investors. It cannot be taken over from outside – the risk that has undone so many European providers is structurally excluded. Every member has one vote, regardless of size. And the cooperative operates for the benefit of its members, not for a third party’s return.

DATEV and Soennecken have shown for decades that this model works in IT and in trade. souveraen.network applies it to sovereign infrastructure.
