WALLDORF — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today unveiled the next stage of its vision for European digital sovereignty with the launch of EU AI Cloud.

SAP now unites all existing milestones under a single strategic framework: a sovereign AI and cloud offering designed for Europe. SAP now offers a truly full-stack sovereign cloud offering, empowering customers to select the right level of sovereignty and deployment for their needs, whether in SAP’s own data centers, on trusted European infrastructure or as a fully managed solution on-site.

EU AI Cloud supports EU data residency and full sovereignty, helping ensure that every organization can meet its unique regulatory and operational requirements.

Cohere: Unlocking Sovereign, Agentic and Multimodal AI Capabilities for European Enterprises

SAP and Cohere are joining forces to deliver frontier agentic AI capabilities with Cohere North, extending existing state-of-the-art multimodal AI capabilities through EU AI Cloud and sovereign offerings. Cohere North will be integrated into SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), enabling customers with data residency constraints across industries to build robust, production-ready AI into their core business processes. Together, SAP and Cohere will help enterprises unlock deeper insights, more accurate decision support and more intelligent automation across complex workflows without compromising on sovereignty, compliance or performance.

A Strong and Growing Ecosystem

EU AI Cloud is powered by a strong and growing ecosystem of leading European and global partners. By integrating advanced AI models and applications from partners such as Cohere, Mistral AI, OpenAI and others directly into SAP BTP, EU AI Cloud delivers a pathway for building, deploying and scaling AI-powered applications. Customers can consume these partner offerings as SaaS, PaaS or IaaS, and deploy them flexibly across SAP’s own infrastructure or trusted European partners.

This collaborative approach ensures that European enterprises and public sector organizations benefit from the latest AI innovations securely, in full compliance with European standards and with the sovereignty and flexibility they require.

Deployment Choices for Every Security Profile

EU AI Cloud offers flexible deployment through SAP Sovereign Cloud, giving customers full control across infrastructure, platform and software tailored to their regulatory and operational needs. AI models run on SAP’s software abstraction layer (SAP Cloud Infrastructure + SAP BTP) in European data centers, ensuring compliance and independence from U.S. hyperscalers.

• SAP Sovereign Cloud on SAP Cloud Infrastructure (EU): SAP’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), developed with open-source technologies and operated within SAP’s European data center network. All data remains within the EU to ensure compliance with European data protection regulations.
• SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site: SAP-operated infrastructure offering within a customer-owned or customer-selected data center. It provides the highest levels of data, operational, technical and legal sovereignty while maintaining SAP cloud innovation and architecture.
• Selected Hyperscalers per Market: For customers that choose to run SAP commercial SaaS on global cloud providers, with sovereignty features as required.
• Delos Cloud: A secure and sovereign cloud solution in Germany, designed to support the public sector’s transformation and meet country-specific sovereignty requirements.

WALLDORF — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced a new collaboration with France’s AI sector, which includes new and expanded partnerships with Bleu, Capgemini and Mistral AI.

The collaboration will combine SAP enterprise application expertise with France’s vibrant AI ecosystem to create secure, scalable, AI-driven sovereign cloud solutions that protect data and intellectual property while advancing Europe’s digital transformation. The announcement took place at the Summit on European Digital Sovereignty in Berlin, where France and Germany emphasized strengthening European innovation and competitiveness.

“Europe’s competitiveness depends on its ability to innovate without compromise by combining technological excellence with full digital sovereignty,” said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP SE. “By joining forces with France’s world-class AI ecosystem, SAP is helping to build a trusted digital foundation for Europe where innovation is open, data is protected and technology truly serves people and progress.”

Bleu and Delos Cloud: Franco-German collaboration supporting European digital sovereignty

In a volatile and dynamic geopolitical climate, Bleu and Delos Cloud have established a robust Franco-German alliance to safeguard Europe’s digital infrastructure. Bleu and Delos Cloud signed a mutual assistance commitment for technical and operational cooperation in extensive crisis and emergency scenarios. This includes technical and operational cooperation to help ensure rapid, coordinated crisis response, even in extreme scenarios, such as military conflict or cyberattacks.

This partnership includes enabling cross-border capabilities for early detection, analysis, defense and remediation of cyber incidents. By working together, Bleu and Delos Cloud strengthen Europe’s capabilities for resilience and digital sovereignty, supporting both crisis prevention and long-term stability.

Together with SAP, authorities and governments, Bleu and Delos Cloud are ready to make a central contribution to Europe’s digital sovereignty, helping ensure that critical infrastructure remains secure, resilient and under European control. Further details are available here.

Capgemini: Driving Europe’s AI-driven digital and technology sovereignty

SAP and Capgemini are deepening their strategic partnership to strengthen cybersecurity and accelerate sovereign agentic AI-driven enterprise transformation solutions across Europe. Under the Franco-German industry alliance, both companies will sign a cooperation agreement and launch a Sovereign Technology Partnership, providing European organizations access to the spectrum of enterprise data management and migration services, cloud infrastructure and automation platforms, and agentic AI capabilities for European industries – including those in the public sector and regulated industries. By setting a new benchmark for trusted, compliant and resilient digital infrastructure, SAP and Capgemini are helping enable European organizations to innovate securely and independently. Further details are available here.

Mistral AI: Alliance for European sovereign AI

SAP and Mistral AI today announced an expansion of their strategic partnership to accelerate digital transformation and strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty in artificial intelligence. The collaboration will provide organizations with the first full sovereign AI stack for Europe:

• Bringing together Mistral AI and SAP products: SAP will provide Mistral AI’s frontier AI, including Le Chat, through the sovereign AI Foundation on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). This joint offering will bring together the strengths of enterprise software and AI to deliver sovereign cloud solutions for Europe on sovereign AI data center. Mistral AI Studio will be integrated into AI Foundation, an SAP solution empowering customers and partners to build and deploy sovereign cloud applications and AI agents securely, compliantly and at scale within their own environments. 
• Co-developing sovereign customer solutions: SAP and Mistral AI will jointly design and develop industry-specific AI applications that leverage SAP’s technology leadership and Mistral AI’s expertise to solve complex engineering and R&D challenges and unlock new business value.

This joint effort is the next step to enabling sovereign AI across the continent on European terms. AI Foundation in SAP Business Technology Platform serves as an integration layer that offers SAP Business AI across virtually any infrastructure. Mistral AI and SAP lay the foundation together with partners and endorsed by governments for scalable and compliant AI solutions in Europe, covering sovereign AI from the hardware to the platform and applications to the user interface.  

A dedicated sovereignty pillar will serve European public services and regulated sectors, starting in Germany — and extendible to a wide variety of industries. By integrating Mistral’s AI capabilities into SAP’s cloud infrastructure for Europe, the partnership enables secure, scalable AI deployments tailored to local requirements.

A unified vision for Europe’s digital sovereignty

These partnerships form a key part of SAP’s broader SAP Sovereign Cloud solutions to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty and unlock the potential of AI. SAP is accelerating its investment in European sovereignty, deploying the SAP Cloud Infrastructure service across local data centers and allocating over €20 billion to sovereign cloud and AI solutions. By combining trusted governance and rigorous compliance with the ability to maintain control over data and assets while deploying some of the best available technologies on European terms, SAP is creating a resilient digital foundation for governments, public institutions and enterprises under European control.
