Frequently asked questions
Which EU country has the most tech startups?
Among companies listed on EU Alts, Germany has the most entries with 42 startups in the directory. Germany, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Estonia consistently rank as the strongest EU tech ecosystems.
Are tech startups from EU countries GDPR-compliant?
Companies headquartered in EU member states are subject to the GDPR by default. Choosing EU-headquartered software can simplify your Data Processing Agreement paperwork and avoids the cross-border transfer risk of US-owned providers, but whether a company is outside the CLOUD Act depends on its ownership and hosting, which EU Alts checks per listing.
Can I find EU alternatives to US software by country?
Yes. EU Alts lists 141 European tech companies across 25 countries. Each country page shows all startups headquartered there, with links to product categories and related EU alternatives. You can also browse by US product or by category.
