- Ecosia has started delivering search results from its new European-based search index to users in France, aiming for 50% of queries by year-end.
- The European Search Perspective (EUSP), a joint venture with Qwant, developed Staan, a privacy-first search index for Europe's digital sovereignty.
- An independent search index reduces reliance on American Big Tech, fostering competition, privacy, and ethical AI development in Europe.
- EUSP's infrastructure is open to other tech companies, supporting innovation in areas like generative AI while ensuring data privacy.
- This move enhances Europe's digital independence, democratic control, and stability, aligning with Ecosia's mission for a greener, fairer tech future.
