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.

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.

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.
