SAP Deepens European Cloud Sovereignty Offering to Unlock Regional AI Innovation
SAP commits over €20 billion to build a sovereign cloud infrastructure fully compliant with EU data laws, targeting public sector and regulated industries across multiple European countries.
- On Tuesday, SAP announced it will invest over 20 billion euros to expand SAP Sovereign Cloud, offering European customers a full technology stack while keeping sensitive data under local control.
- Amid tightening rules, European regulators have increased demand for sovereign solutions through frameworks like the General Data Protection Regulation and the EU AI Act, while earlier this year the European Commission unveiled plans to invest 20 billion euros in AI gigafactories.
- All data remains stored within EU borders, and SAP offers Delos Cloud in Germany, SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site, and an open-source IaaS platform for diverse deployments.
- The move aims to reduce Europe's dependence on American hyperscalers, as SAP's investment intends to boost digital independence while major U.S. cloud providers recently launched sovereign options.
- SAP will offer SAP Business Suite and SAP Business AI in sovereign environments, running within SAP Sovereign Cloud and customer-owned or customer-selected data centers; its over 20-billion-euro investment in Europe's sovereign cloud is baked into next year's capital plans while it is closely involved in AI gigafactories.
