SAP and Mistral AI: A New Alliance for European Sovereign AI

At the Franco-German EU Summit on Digital Sovereignty in Berlin, SAP announced an expansion of its partnership with Mistral AI, marking a pivotal moment for European innovation in artificial intelligence (AI).

SAP Joins Forces with France’s AI Ecosystem to Power Europe’s Sovereign Digital Future

The collaboration aims to deliver secure, scalable, and AI-driven sovereign cloud solutions that advance Europe’s digital transformation while maintaining control over data and infrastructure.

Here, we explore the main takeaways from the partnership and its broader implications.

Q: What is the main objective of the SAP-Mistral AI partnership?

A: SAP and Mistral AI are strengthening their alliance by combining SAP’s enterprise expertise with Mistral AI’s cutting-edge AI technology. The partnership is designed to accelerate the rollout of AI-driven solutions across industries, echoing the pace of major U.S. tech partnerships. By jointly offering frontier AI from Mistral AI with SAP’s leading enterprise platform, the collaboration is making sovereign AI a practical reality for Europe—grounded in a shared commitment to innovation and digital sovereignty.

Q: What are the technical highlights of the partnership?

A: The partnership builds on SAP’s locally hosted AI, introduced in 2024, which already allows customers to access leading AI models on SAP-operated infrastructure. The next phase will see SAP providing Mistral AI’s frontier models and products through a sovereign AI foundation on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). Mistral AI Studio and Le Chat will be integrated into SAP’s AI Foundation, enabling customers and partners to build and deploy sovereign AI applications and AI agents within their own environments, without compromising data sovereignty or regulatory compliance.

SAP and Mistral AI will jointly design and develop industry-specific AI applications to unlock new business value. A dedicated sovereignty pillar will serve European public services and regulated sectors, starting in Germany, and can be extended to any industry. Both partners will also co-sell on joint opportunities.

Q: Why is this partnership strategically important for Europe?

A: Both SAP and Mistral AI emphasize that Europe’s competitiveness depends on its ability to innovate without compromise, combining technological excellence with full digital sovereignty. The partnership is designed to ensure that European organizations can leverage cutting-edge AI while retaining control over their data, infrastructure, and future direction.

Achieving Clean Core with the Updated Clean Core Extensibility White Paper | feat. Marco Matha

Niklas Siemer is joined by Marco Matha to dive deep into the concept of “clean core” and its critical role in enterprise transformation. Learn why keeping your SAP systems clean, up-to-date, and extensible is more important than ever in today’s fast-paced tech landscape.

Niklas and Marco break down SAP’s new clean core levels using relatable metaphors, explain the evolution from the classic extensibility model, and share practical advice for developers and architects. Learn about essential tools like the SAP Discovery Center, Guidance Framework, and ABAP Test Cockpit, and get actionable best practices for your clean core journey. Whether you’re a seasoned SAP developer or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights, real-world examples, and even a few personal recommendations to inspire your next steps.

Also in this episode:
– Clean Core is Essential for Agility: Maintaining a “clean core” in your SAP systems enables organizations to quickly adopt new technologies, reduce technical debt, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.
– New Extensibility Levels Clarified: SAP has introduced a four-level model (A–D) for extensibility, making it easier to understand which development approaches are most future-proof and compliant with best practices.
– Level A is the Gold Standard: Developing extensions using SAP Build and released APIs (Level A) ensures maximum stability, cloud readiness, and long-term support.
– Custom Code Can Hinder Progress: Legacy customizations and undocumented modifications can slow down upgrades and increase maintenance challenges, making clean core compliance even more important.
– Tools to Support Your Journey: Resources like the SAP Discovery Center, Guidance Framework, and ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) help developers assess, govern, and improve the cleanliness of their codebase.
– Methodology for Extension Planning: A structured three-phase approach—assess use case, assess technology, and define target solution—guides teams in making informed, strategic extension decisions.
– Continuous Learning and Best Practices: SAP provides detailed white papers, open-source projects, and recommended reading (like “Talk Like TED”) to help developers stay informed and continuously improve their skills and solutions.

SAP Marks Fifth Consecutive Year as a Leader in QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ for Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO)

SAP has once again been recognized as a Leader in the QKS Group’s 2025 SPARK Matrix for Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO), marking the fifth year in a row this acknowledgment has been bestowed.

Your business processes have hidden potential. Unlock their true value fast and at scale.

In addition, for the second consecutive year, SAP has received the highest rating, evaluated against 19 leading vendors, across both SPARK Matrix assessment categories: Customer Impact and Technology Excellence. This leadership position highlights our commitment to helping enterprises navigate complexity with agility, intelligence, and confidence using SAP solutions.

The SAP Signavio approach to DTO has always been intrinsically linked with the concept of process observability, whereby companies have the ability to visualize processes as they should happen, as they execute on and impact customers and employee satisfaction. Through this unique, integrated toolkit of AI-infused business transformation management solutions, organizations can gain actionable visibility into the four pillars of their organization: people, processes, applications, and data.

“Our goal is to empower our customers to build transformation as a capability within their organizations, rather than seeing transformation as a one-off project,” Dee Houchen, chief marketing officer at SAP LeanIX & SAP Signavio, said. “By leveraging DTO capabilities to build a virtual representation of any business process with associated systems, decision-makers can simulate different process scenarios and calculate the impact of alternative automations before implementation, allowing for the creation of continuous improvement loops and ensuring transformation has the greatest positive impact. Being recognized as a Leader in the SPARK Matrix for the fifth year in a row is a reflection of the value of this approach and reaffirms our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.”

The repeated recognition provides useful context on the current DTO vendor landscape, with several key points differentiating SAP solutions from others on the market:

  • Enterprise observability: Customers can achieve full enterprise observability, enabling them to centralize and manage transformation initiatives within a single solution.
  • AI innovations: SAP solutions offer generative AI-powered applications that leverage over 50 years of SAP process knowledge to help provide insights and recommendations.
  • Value accelerators and best practices: Thousands of value accelerators and best practices are available to help expedite benefit realization in both SAP and non-SAP environments, helping customers start their transformation projects on the right foundation and accelerate time to value.
  • Automated insights: SAP solutions can provide users with a portfolio of advanced statistics, performance monitoring, and value analysis capabilities to support informed decision-making.
  • Modeling and experience connection: We extend DTO capabilities to customer touchpoints, working to ensure comprehensive transformation efforts that connect experiences to processes.

To understand the DTO market better, including why SAP has been acknowledged as a leader in this crucial area for five years straight, download a complimentary copy of the latest SPARK Matrix here and here.
