The Dutch Ministry of Defense plans to phase out Palantir Technologies software within two years. State Secretary for Defense Derk Boswijk announced the timeline, noting that a faster transition poses security risks.
The decision aligns with a broader European push for digital sovereignty to reduce reliance on U.S. technology. This shift addresses growing concerns regarding foreign dependency for critical defense infrastructure.
The Dutch military has used Palantir’s data analytics software on a limited scale since 2010.
