Europe's businesses have become invisible to themselves about the digital dependencies they carry. Measurement is the first step. Transparency is the second. Action is the third.
EUCompany.org is the operational tool businesses use to understand where they stand, signal it credibly to customers and partners, and make incremental moves toward European alternatives where it matters. Read our Manifest for the full set of principles this initiative operates by.

What we stand for
-
Independent
Classification is not for sale. No commercial relationship changes your class. Paid features cover deeper analysis and directory visibility — nothing else.
-
Transparent
Our methodology is published. Our governance is documented. Our operator relationship is disclosed. No hidden agendas.
-
European
Europe means EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland — and any organisation genuinely rooted in European law, governance, and data jurisdiction. We are not a lobbying instrument.
-
Practical
We are not here to lecture. We are here to give businesses a usable tool, a real score, and actionable next steps — not another policy document.
The founders
Harry Heijes
Harry builds companies at the intersection of AI, law, and European sovereignty. Before founding Westcube, Rechtfabriek, SnapSale, and TipShare, he served as IT Director at both KPN and ABN AMRO Bank — giving him first-hand insight into the digital dependencies that large European organisations carry and rarely question. A TU Delft graduate and speaker on AI transformation, Harry conceived EUCompany because the tool simply didn't exist: an independent, honest answer to the question "how European is your digital infrastructure, really?"

Bas Hafkenscheid
Bas makes strategies work — a discipline he has honed across 25+ years as interim manager, consultant, and programme director in organisations ranging from multinationals to scale-ups. A TU/e graduate and Nolan Norton (KPMG) alumnus, he combines analytical rigour with an eye for stakeholder dynamics. Fully engaged in AI, Bas now guides organisations through the real work of transformation: from articulating long-term ambition to practical production deployment, without losing sight of what needs to land commercially.

With 25+ years of P&L responsibility spanning marketing, operations, strategy, and M&A, he understands at first hand how digital platform thinking and general management intersect at European scale. A VU Amsterdam graduate, Godert brings the commercial and operational credibility that any digital sovereignty initiative needs to be taken seriously — from Amsterdam to Brussels to the boardroom.
