The Federal Chancellery has about 9 million francs from Parliament to set up a sovereign open-source workplace for 3,000 staff by the end of 2027. It will judge what regular operation costs only afterwards.

The UK's 2024 Microsoft agreement runs five years, and Germany buys AWS through Bechtle. Europe's AI plan arrived in April 2025, roughly a year into terms it would have to unwind.
