pretty easy if you publicly fund it. My vision of Europe is every town, every city putting some money into building out federated and decentralized systems, supported by small and middle-sized business. Effectively the same way radio or public broadcasting is already supported in say Germany or the UK.
We should go all the way and just rid ourselves of Meta, Tencent et al, sadly there's probably not enough vision for something like it.
