SAP has announced it will invest more than €20 billion over the next ten years to grow its digital sovereignty solutions throughout Europe. This plan is meant to let European customers have full control over their data and the systems they use, while also helping them use advanced AI tools.
The plan focuses on public sector groups and industries that are heavily regulated, like defense.
The EU plans to invest €800 billion in this sector over the next four years. SAP’s European background helps it follow strict EU rules better than North American companies that offer similar cloud services.
SAP Sovereign Cloud is now available starting in February 2025.
It offers two options: SAP Cloud Infrastructure (IaaS) and SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site, which can be run in either chosen or owned data centers. All data stays inside the EU, making it easier for customers to meet European data privacy and sovereignty laws. Customers also have the choice of managing their systems themselves on-premises for full control.
