Inmanta: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Inmanta is a Belgian software company, a spin-off from KU Leuven, that provides service orchestration for telecom operators and service providers. The Inmanta Service Orchestrator is an intent-based, multi-domain platform for automating the lifecycle of network and IT services. Further products target network automation for business and wholesale connectivity (Inmanta Connect) and private mobile networks (MPN Orchestrator). Orchestration rests on a configuration model that describes services and their dependencies.

The Inmanta core is published as open source on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 licence and is mainly developed and maintained by Inmanta NV, while the company markets its orchestrator as a commercial product. Because the customer can install and operate the software itself, it decides where the software runs and where data resides. The sources consulted mention no hosted service and no foreign parent company. For European operators this is a Belgian supplier with an inspectable open-source core.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Inmanta

Inmanta is headquartered in BE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Inmanta scores best on data residency.

Inmanta is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Inmanta together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
