netzpolitik.org
Software von Palantir findet sich bei europäischen Streitkräften, bei Polizeien und im Gesundheitssystem. Aber viele Länder suchen nach Alternativen, sie sorgen sich um Abhängigkeiten, Sicherheit und Demokratie. Ein Recherche-Team hat untersucht, wo der Tech-Konzern in Europa Verträge mit Regierungen hat.

Cross-border investigation by Follow the Money and partners (including netzpolitik.org) mapping Palantir’s government contracts across Europe. Key findings: the UK is Palantir’s largest European customer, with over €1 billion across current and past contracts, mostly in the NHS and defence; several German states (Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Hessen, NRW) run police systems on Palantir software costing over €95 million, but are now seeking European alternatives; in eight of eleven countries with national contracts, Palantir works with armed forces or defence ministries. Growing concerns about digital sovereignty and dependency are pushing governments like France to develop domestic alternatives, while Palantir defends its role and says over 20% of its staff are now in Europe. https://netzpolitik.org/2026/laenderuebergreifende-recherche-palantirs-geschaefte-in-europa/
