March 24, 2026 Vienna, Austria
Thank you, Vienna!
The first edition of the Nextcloud Enterprise Day in Vienna left us impressed by the audience’s interest and attendance.
One thing became especially clear: from government institutions to research organisations and private companies, there is a growing urgency to regain control over data, infrastructure, and digital collaboration. And Austria is not just part of this shift. It is actively shaping it with great lighthouse projects, as part of a movement of millions of new enterprise users that moved to a sovereign, Nextcloud-based workspace across Europe last year.
At the same time, the conversations in Vienna showed that there is a strong and growing interest in moving these discussions forward locally. The exchange throughout the day was open, practical, and focused on real challenges.
We are looking forward to continuing this conversation and meeting again in beautiful Vienna soon, or at the upcoming Nextcloud Summit, on June 9, in Munich!
Speakers
Hear from industry experts, enterprise practitioners, and Nextcloud leaders shaping the future of digital sovereignty.
