About this webinar
The EBU Cloud Strategy Group has invited cloud providers to share their substantive view on the strategic choices facing European Public Service Media.
Each webinar is structured around the four Strategic Beacons of EBU Technical Report 099 — Cloud Ecosystem Strategy for European Public Service Media (December 2025) — and is explicitly non-commercial.
These webinars are not product pitches. They are asking for honest perspectives on architecture, sovereignty, partnership and shared capabilities, including the limits of each provider's offering.
Google Cloud
This session in the Cloud Providers series features Google Cloud, represented by Maximilian Bender.
