When the Legal Basis Crumbles: Why Data Protection Is a Business Issue

10.08.2026 | 259 times. That is how often the text of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework refers to a single word: independence. This refers to the independence of the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. agency tasked with overseeing data protection. The entire structure of the agreement rests on this assumption. This assumption no longer holds. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the president may dismiss the agency’s head. As a result, the assumed independence is no longer a legal fact. It has become a matter of political goodwill. Among experts, the agreement has since been widely regarded as beyond salvage. For companies in Europe, this is not a legal footnote. It is a business issue.

The synaforce Cloud: Open cloud infrastructure based on OpenStack

10.07.2026 | For decades, cheap natural gas from Russia was taken for granted in Europe. It was reliable, inexpensive, and convenient; entire industries geared their production toward it, and entire economies based their calculations on it. Hardly anyone asked what would happen if the supplier changed its terms or turned off the tap. In 2022, this comfortable dependence turned into a strategic risk overnight. The technology wasn’t the problem—the pipelines were working. The problem was that control lay elsewhere. When you’ve tied yourself to a single supplier, you’re no longer negotiating the price—you’re negotiating your own ability to act. This exact pattern is repeating itself today in IT, only more subtly. Cloud infrastructure is reliable, scalable, and convenient. And just as with natural gas, the crucial question usually doesn’t arise until it becomes too costly to answer: Just how dependent have we actually made ourselves, and who ultimately holds the ...

Made with Europe: Why the Future of Medtech Is Taking Shape Across Borders

16.06.2026 | At the Swiss Medtech Day 2026 in Bern, it became clear just how closely Switzerland and Europe are already collaborating in the field of medical technology. Stephan Ging, CEO of synaforce Schweiz AG, was there and explains the role a sovereign European cloud plays in this process. Around 800 representatives from industry, research, and healthcare gathered at the Kursaal Bern on June 10, 2026. The central theme of Swiss Medtech Day signaled a clear direction for the industry: Mastering Complexity, Integration beats Fragmentation. The message behind it is unmistakable. In an environment marked by growing cost pressures, increasingly complex healthcare systems, and rising demands for innovation and supply security, the industry can no longer move forward with isolated, siloed solutions. What matters is the interplay of technologies, markets, and processes. Integration thus shifts from a technical detail to a strategic issue that determines the ...
