TerriSTORY: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

TerriSTORY is a web tool that helps regions and local authorities steer the transition of their territory. It presents open data on energy, climate, mobility and the economy in interactive maps and charts, and helps users understand their territory, identify priority levers for action and simulate forward-looking scenarios. According to its README it has an educational purpose and serves as a support for dialogue between stakeholders. It is delivered as a public web service, deployed region by region.

TerriSTORY is a joint project of national and regional bodies with a public-service mission. According to its legal notice, the site is published by the association Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Énergie Environnement in Villeurbanne, France, and hosted by Hetzner in Germany. The source code is on GitLab under the GNU Affero GPL v3, so organisations can inspect and deploy the software themselves; documentation is available online. Territories can join the shared governance.

Why digital sovereignty matters with TerriSTORY

TerriSTORY 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 TerriSTORY together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
