In doing so, SAP says it is setting a new standard for secure, compliant and scalable innovation and strengthening digital sovereignty as a core element of Europe's technological resilience and strategic autonomy. "Europe's leadership in the next era of digital innovation - especially in the field of AI - will depend on how effectively we use AI to solve differentiated industry use cases," explains Thomas Saueressig, Member of the Executive Board of SAP SE, Customer Services & Delivery. "With our expanded offering for SAP Sovereign Cloud, SAP is enabling access to the full spectrum of cloud innovation and AI capabilities for all markets and industries - including the public sector and regulated environments. At the same time, SAP ensures that these advances are delivered within a sovereign framework and on customers' individual terms."

Deployment options for every security profile

With the expansion of SAP Sovereign Cloud, customers can choose from new deployment models that give them control over infrastructure, platform and software and are tailored to their specific regulatory and operational requirements. This flexibility enables organizations to innovate securely and compliantly while retaining the freedom to scale as they see fit. SAP Sovereign Cloud solutions are available on SAP Cloud Infrastructure (in Europe), SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site and in the Delos Cloud.

Data is stored within the EU

SAP Cloud Infrastructure is SAP's Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform, which is developed and operated with open source technologies in the SAP data center network. All data is stored within the EU to ensure compliance with European data protection regulations.

Maximum data, operational, technical and legal sovereignty

SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site offers an infrastructure operated by SAP in a customer-owned or customer-selected data center. This solution is designed to offer maximum data, operational, technical and legal sovereignty while preserving the innovation and architecture of the SAP cloud.

For country-specific sovereignty requirements

With the Delos Cloud, SAP offers a secure and sovereign cloud solution for Germany that supports the flexible and rapid transformation of the public sector to meet country-specific sovereignty requirements.

Long-term investment in Europe's digital resilience

With a long-term investment of more than €20 billion, SAP is prioritizing digital sovereignty, underlining its determination to support Europe's digital autonomy through more secure, local and compliant cloud solutions tailored to the public sector and highly regulated industries.

No compromise on speed or depth of transformation

With SAP Sovereign Cloud, customers not only gain control of their infrastructure, but can also leverage the full potential of SAP's cloud solutions. The offering enables organizations to run their SAP Business Suite in Sovereign environments while benefiting from continuous innovation cycles, including SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and embedded SAP Business AI capabilities. This helps customers innovate more securely and locally without compromising on the speed or depth of transformation.

Secure, scalable and future-proof sovereignty

"Europe's digital resilience depends on secure, scalable and future-proof sovereignty," said Martin Merz, President, SAP Sovereign Cloud. "SAP's Sovereign Cloud full-stack offering delivers just that. It gives customers the freedom to choose their deployment model while ensuring compliance with the highest standards."
