Are there any publicly traded cloud companies in the EU besides OVH, IONOS and Nebius?

I have looked into these 3 so far and was not too impressed. Would like to look at more, if there are some.

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

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

But it's great to have competition )

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.

There's Hetzner, which I think would generally be viewed as better than OVH (or at least used to be), but it's not publicly traded.

Why does it matter if they are publicly traded?

Outing myself as European here, but we've had a lot better results with privately owned businesses that are not 100% beholden to grow for their shareholders.

No unicorns, but sustainable growth.
