Scaleway is the closest thing to a public cloud we have in the EU. Although it’s not a publicly traded company.

There's also Schwarz Gruppe (of Lidl fame) that started their own cloud infra with StackIt: https://www.stackit.de/de/

They aren't publicly traded either AFAIK despite being worth over 100Bln.

Hetzner beats it hands down in terms of cost, scale and customer service.

But it's great to have competition )
