Office EU, a newly launched Dutch company (EUfforic Europe BV, registered November 2025), is marketing a European cloud productivity suite as a sovereign alternative to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Investigation reveals it appears to be a hosted Nextcloud Hub instance using Collabora Online (a LibreOffice-based editor) as its integrated office suite. The piece traces Nextcloud's history of switching from OnlyOffice to Collabora Online as its default editor, and notes that OnlyOffice and Thinkfree Office remain available options. The author views the offering positively in the context of growing EU digital sovereignty concerns, noting that many organizations lack the skills to self-host such a stack.
