The Raspberry Pi foundation is headquartered in Cambridge, UK.

Not sure if you are looking for a Pi replacement specficially, but if your goal is only to buy European, the Raspberry Pi already has you covered
They are also manufactured in the UK.
I thought this community was "buy from EU"
Yes, it's named buy from EU. But when there are no replacements for something, you can always choose to buy from a company based in a democratic nation.
I would see it like a gradient.
When there is nothing in the Eu-27 that you want, look in other european states. If you still are not satisfied look for it in other democratic nations like South Korea or Japan. And if that doesnt cover your needs you're probably forced to rely on China or the US. Or you don't buy it.
OP's question is for "single board computers developed or produced in the EU or Europe" though
The UK isn't in Europe though. Haven't you been paying attention? They voted to leave Europe! Now they're an island country in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. They have ✨sovereignty✨ now! But of course continent-dwellers wouldn't know that, since they're being crushed by metres upon metres of these "safety regulations" (unlike in the UK where they are now measured by the Gunter's chain and also they can now import chlorinated chicken from America)
I appreciate you, even if nobody else does.
You are correct, but unfortunately it's rare that you can find anything good related to IT/hardware strictly in EU (like smartphones). UK, while not in EU, still closer to it than US/China.
Oh, you are right. I always thought Raspberry Pi is American :/
I had the same experience with Spotify recently, but apparently they are Swedish.
There is low-key quite a few large European tech companies that are easily assumed to be American.
