The Netherlands
Leafcloud is an innovative player in the cloud computing industry, headquartered in The Netherlands, and distinguished by its commitment to sustainability and privacy. Founded in 2020, the company presents a unique value proposition encapsulated in its slogan: "Truly green public cloud - run workloads that produce hot showers."
What sets Leafcloud apart is its pioneering waste heat reuse technology, where server heat is repurposed for residential and commercial heating, significantly reducing carbon footprints. By being EU-based and GDPR-compliant, it ensures data remains secure from entities such as the U.S. CLOUD Act. Their approach is attractive to teams seeking transparent pricing models, especially those transitioning from big players like AWS and Azure.
Since its inception, Leafcloud has hit critical milestones, including achieving full GDPR and ISO27001 compliance by 2022, and doubling its compute capacity in 2023. By 2025, it emerged as a preferred alternative for firms departing hyperscalers. With over 100 clients across Europe, Leafcloud is recognized as one of the continent's most sustainable tech infrastructures.
