    Sensative builds ultra-thin IoT sensors and the Yggio integration platform that unifies devices across smart cities and PropTech — includes 10-year battery life sensors and a technology-agnostic data broker. The combination turns fragmented device ecosystems into standardised, queryable data streams, letting operators monitor occupancy, air quality, leakage, and asset tracking from one normalised API.

    Yggio is built on a zero-trust architecture with full data sovereignty, deployable in cloud, edge, or hybrid configurations. It speaks LoRaWAN, Z-Wave, and FIWARE standards natively, while the Ratatosk context broker harmonises legacy systems with modern IoT endpoints. Customers can swap hardware vendors without rewriting integrations.

    Key benefits:

    • Strips multi-sensors with 10-year battery life and modular downloadable apps
    • Vendor-agnostic integration across LoRaWAN, Z-Wave, and legacy building systems
    • Unified data API delivering normalised streams to any downstream application
    • Flexible deployment in public cloud, private edge, or hybrid topologies
    • Zero-trust architecture with full data sovereignty built in
    • 500,000+ sensors deployed across European smart city and real estate projects

    Sensative is headquartered in Lund, Sweden, founded in 2013, and operates entirely under EU jurisdiction with GDPR and EU Data Act compliance. Customer data remains on European infrastructure, with sovereignty-by-design principles baked into the Yggio platform architecture.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best European alternative to AWS IoT?
Sensative is the top-ranked European alternative to AWS IoT in our directory. 1 EU alternatives are listed on this page in total, scored by feature parity and relevance.
Is AWS IoT GDPR-compliant?
AWS IoT is headquartered outside the EU, which means personal data may be transferred to a non-EU jurisdiction. Since the 2020 Schrems II ruling, such transfers require a case-by-case transfer impact assessment under Article 46 GDPR. EU-based alternatives keep your data under European law by default with no transfer impact assessment required.
Why use a European alternative to AWS IoT?
European alternatives store data in EU jurisdictions, comply with GDPR by default, reduce exposure to the US CLOUD Act and FISA 702, and strengthen the European tech ecosystem. For regulated industries — health, public sector, finance — EU hosting is often a legal requirement, not just a preference.
How do I migrate from AWS IoT to a European alternative?
Start by exporting your data from AWS IoT, then pick the alternative that best matches your feature requirements — most EU alternatives listed here offer import tools or migration guides. Running both services in parallel for a week catches any edge cases before you fully switch.
