Eurosky Live: Berlin 2025, Wednesday 19 November
“We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”
- President Macron on the occasion of German Unity Day, 3 October 2025Agenda
Eurosky is building European infrastructure for the open social web - the foundation that lets startups create safer, fairer social media apps that users actually control, enabling European innovation to compete in the global digital economy.
The European social media market is worth tens of billions annually, with nearly all of it flowing to Big Tech. Eurosky will enable European startups to reclaim this market share while creating jobs, giving users control, protecting democratic discourse, and preventing the platform lock-in that created today's monopolies.
Our first Eurosky Live conference will take place in Berlin on 19 November 2025. The conference will explore the open social web and how Eurosky’s digital building blocks could power 'Trusted European Platforms'.
Eurosky Live sits alongside the French-German Digital Sovereignty Summit (18 Nov) and feeds into the preparation of the EU's Democracy Shield, as announced by President von der Leyen.

About Eurosky
Eurosky provides the infrastructure that European startups need to build social web applications. By handling the foundational layer, Eurosky makes it cheaper and faster for startups to launch and scale, enabling multiple companies to compete across social media, news, search, e-commerce, and more.
Built on the AT Protocol, Eurosky ensures users keep control of their data and networks. If they switch apps, they don't lose their connections or content. This prevents the platform lock-in that created today's monopolies and enables genuine competition.
Eurosky is an independent, non-profit, public interest initiative.
