Summary
France's intelligence services have dropped U.S. data analytics firm Palantir in favor of French company ChapsVision, as Europe seeks to reduce reliance on American technology for sensitive government services. German intelligence services also recently chose ChapsVision over Palantir for data analysis. This reflects a broader European push toward technological sovereignty in critical sectors like intelligence, cloud, and AI.
