Content Infrastructure
European headless CMS and content infrastructure has a strong presence, with Storyblok (Austria), Hygraph (Germany), Strapi (France, open-source), and Directus (Netherlands-founded, open-source) all competing credibly against US incumbents like Contentful. The European advantage is deployment flexibility — Strapi and Directus can be self-hosted on any EU infrastructure for full data sovereignty. Where Europe is weaker is in the broader content platform layer: digital asset management, video infrastructure, and content analytics remain dominated by US providers.
