Learnteq receives BITMi quality seals “Software Hosted in Germany” and “Software Hosted in Europe”
A Major Milestone for Quality, Data Protection and Digital Sovereignty
Stuttgart, October 2026. A significant milestone for Learnteq: The e-learning and IT company has successfully completed the certification process of the German Federal Association of IT SMEs (BITMi) and has been awarded the quality seals “Software Hosted in Germany” and “Software Hosted in Europe”.
The award underlines Learnteq’s commitment to providing companies, universities and educational institutions with reliable, secure and privacy-focused digital learning platforms.
For Learnteq, the successful certification is far more than formal recognition. It shows what the company stands for: quality, transparency, responsibility and digital sovereignty.
At the same time, it is an important signal to customers and partners who, when choosing their IT service providers, increasingly value traceable hosting standards, data protection and control over their data.
A Milestone We Are Proud Of
Digital sovereignty is not a short-term trend for Learnteq, but an essential part of the company philosophy.
As a specialist in open-source technologies, Moodle LMS and customized digital learning architectures, Learnteq has pursued a clear goal since its founding: technology should strengthen organizations, promote their independence and work reliably in the long term.
The successful certification by BITMi confirms this path.
It stands for a consistent focus on transparent hosting structures, the responsible handling of data and compliance with defined quality and security requirements.
We are proud of this award because it makes visible the values that shape our daily work.
For us, quality does not just mean that a learning platform works technically. Quality also means that our customers can see where their data is processed, which legal frameworks apply and which technical standards they can rely on.
What Does “Software Hosted in Germany” Mean?
The “Software Hosted in Germany” quality seal is awarded by the Federal Association of IT SMEs (BITMi).
It recognizes web-based software solutions that meet defined requirements regarding hosting location, data protection and legal framework.
The key criteria include:
Hosting in Germany: The certified software and its data are hosted in German data centers.
Data sovereignty: Personal data does not leave Germany in principle, unless the client initiates a corresponding transfer.
German law: The hosting contract is governed by German law, in particular German data protection law.
Data protection and security: Providers file their technical and organizational data protection measures with BITMi.
The quality seal thus creates transparency and orientation when choosing trustworthy hosting solutions.
For Learnteq, the award underlines its commitment to providing digital learning platforms with clearly defined hosting conditions and traceable data protection standards.
What Does “Software Hosted in Europe” Mean?
With the “Software Hosted in Europe” quality seal, BITMi, together with the European DIGITAL SME Alliance, extends the idea of quality to the European level.
The award is aimed at providers whose software solutions are hosted within Europe and which meet defined requirements for data protection, transparency and European legal standards.
The focus is on:
European hosting: Operation of software and data within the designated European scope.
European data protection standards: Compliance with applicable legal requirements.
Transparency: Traceable conditions for data processing and data transfers.
Digital sovereignty: Strengthening trustworthy European IT infrastructures and services.
The quality seal helps make European software and hosting offerings more visible.
For Learnteq, this award is a further commitment to a strong, independent and trustworthy European IT ecosystem.
What Does the Certification Mean for Our Customers?
The two quality seals are not only a recognition for Learnteq. They offer our customers in particular concrete added value.
1. More Transparency in Hosting
Companies and educational institutions need to know where their data is stored and processed.
The quality seals provide additional orientation about the hosting locations and the associated legal frameworks of the certified solutions.
2. Trust Through Traceable Standards
Digital learning platforms in particular often process sensitive information. This includes, for example, personal user data, learning progress, exam results and qualification records. The certification shows that the certified hosting solutions meet defined requirements for data processing, data protection and technical safeguards.
3. Support for Digital Sovereignty
Digital sovereignty means retaining control over your own IT infrastructure and the processing of data. With transparent hosting models and open-source-based solutions, Learnteq helps organizations reduce technological dependencies and remain able to act in the long term.
4. Greater Planning Certainty
A professional learning platform is a long-term investment. That is why companies and educational institutions need not only high-performing software, but also a reliable partner for operation, maintenance and further development.
The quality seals provide additional orientation when evaluating hosting solutions and their framework conditions.
5. A Partner with Responsibility
At Learnteq, technical requirements are not the only focus. We value personal support, transparent communication and solutions that are based on our customers’ actual needs.
Our customers do not receive an anonymous standard solution, but a partner who takes responsibility and thinks ahead for the long term.

Digital Sovereignty Starts with the Right Infrastructure
The discussion about digital sovereignty is becoming increasingly important in Germany and Europe.
For companies, public institutions and educational organizations, the question increasingly arises of how they can design their digital infrastructure to be secure, independent and controllable in the long term.
The choice of hosting location plays an important role here.
But digital sovereignty is more than the physical location of a server.
It requires transparent data processing, reliable legal frameworks, technical freedom of design and the ability to develop digital systems independently in the long term.
This is where two of Learnteq’s core strengths come together:
Open-source expertise and professional hosting in Germany and Europe.
With Moodle LMS, we support organizations in building flexible learning platforms that can be individually customized and integrated into existing systems.
The BITMi quality seals underline our commitment to combining this technological flexibility with clear hosting and data protection standards.
Our Conclusion: An Award That Makes Our Commitment Visible
The successful certification with the quality seals “Software Hosted in Germany” and “Software Hosted in Europe” is a special milestone for Learnteq.
It confirms our path and motivates us to continuously develop our services further.
We are proud of this recognition and thank the Federal Association of IT SMEs (BITMi) for the successful certification process.
Above all, however, we understand the award as an obligation to our customers.
Because trust is not created by certificates alone, but by quality, transparency and responsibility in everyday action.
That is exactly what Learnteq stands for.
