A Directory for European Technology
We help people discover great software and services built in Europe.
Why This Exists
Europe builds world-class technology. From encrypted email to cloud storage, from analytics platforms to office suites — there are excellent European products across every category. The problem is that they can be hard to find.
We started BuiltInEu in the Netherlands because we believe people should know what's available. Whether you're looking for GDPR-compliant tools for your business, or you simply prefer to support European companies, this directory is for you.
For many people, data sovereignty matters too. When your provider is headquartered in the EU, your data is protected by European privacy law — not subject to foreign surveillance legislation. That's a practical reason to look at European alternatives, and it's part of what drives this project.
What We Do
We maintain a curated directory of European alternatives to popular (mostly US-based) tech products. For each product, we research the company, verify where it's headquartered, and check its privacy practices.
- Side-by-side comparisons with migration guides to help you switch
- Editorial content — blog posts, news, and guides about European tech
- Community submissions — anyone can suggest a product we might have missed
How We're Funded
Some products in our directory have affiliate links. When you sign up through one of these links, we may receive a small commission — at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site free and fund ongoing research.
Products with affiliate links are clearly marked with a Partner badge. We also show a disclosure notice on pages that contain affiliate links.
