Basically every some EU countries started at some point building their own instant Messenger.
Germany has the Bundesmessenger, the BwMessenger (for the armed forces) and the TI-Messenger (TIM) for the healthcare sector
Luxembourg has Luxchat4Gov and Luxchat
France has the Tchap
Belgium has BEAM
Poland also has plans to do something
Sweden mandated the use of open and federated chat protocols. (Via the eSam framework)
Basically all of them are based on Matrix.
Would be interesting how these apps can be used by individuals and how the interoperability works, between the different services. While I understand that some of this services are not meant for this, it would be nice to have sort of European framework in place to also replace features like WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp in general.
Matrix seems to be the most prevalent replacement for government communication in the EU. Lots of countries and orgs already use it and write their own software stack based on it. These are usually private federations so not connected to the rest of the public matrix network.
I get the why, but with what?
Did you watched the video?

As said in the video several countries as well as the European commission are working on their own apps.
