SAP does. Ultimately, this is what enables the Autonomous Enterprise \u2013 where AI is not just an add\u2011on, but embedded into end\u2011to\u2011end business processes, driving decisions, adapting in real time, and operating within clearly governed and sovereign frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>True digital sovereignty requires control across the entire stack: infrastructure, platforms, applications, and AI.

These models can work particularly well in domains such as defense or critical infrastructure. For example, Capgemini co-leads the \u201cR\u00e9seau Radio du Futur\u201d consortium with Airbus for France\u2019s Ministry of the Interior, and we also partner with other organizations, such as Thales, on strategic programs (e.g., 5G via satellite). These collective efforts pool European expertise and resources. At the same time, in fast-moving technology domains, Europe\u2019s organizations need the freedom and support to innovate at speed and scale \u2013 and to move quickly and independently when required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From my perspective, it\u2019s not an either\/or choice \u2013 both approaches are needed. Europe should use consortium models where no single player can succeed alone, or where standard-setting and interoperability are essential. In parallel, Europe must foster and invest in its leading tech firms and startups so they can scale into global champions. Measures such as a \u201cEuropean preference\u201d in public procurement can help by creating a sizeable home market, alongside supportive policy, innovation funding, and \u2013 in some cases \u2013 cross-border mergers or alliances to build scale.

It is about better regulation, not more regulation. Organizations should be enabled to build and ship faster. Europe needs a true single digital market that encourages deployment, rather than hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regulation should focus on the outcomes we all care about, like resilience, continuity, and competitiveness, rather than prescribing technical details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aiman Ezzat<\/strong>: Regulatory requirements should be risk-based, proportionate, and able to keep pace with technological developments.&nbsp;Extending EU-level regulatory sandboxes \u2013 and enabling real-world experimentation \u2013 will be essential to accelerate innovation and lower market-entry barriers. In recent years, Europe has developed a distinctive regulatory approach; the right balance must be found between citizen protection and competitiveness.

Start by mapping your critical digital dependencies and risks. Identify where a loss of technical control \u2013 or undue foreign influence \u2013 would materially impact your business, and focus on what is truly mission-critical. Then build a sovereignty plan that mitigates those risks without undermining efficiency or innovation. For example, you might ensure your most sensitive data sits on European cloud infrastructure, protected with strong encryption and local legal oversight, and\/or adopt a multi-cloud strategy so you are not tied to a single provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose solutions that protect autonomy while supporting innovation and competitiveness. Whether that means using a \u201csovereign cloud\u201d for specific workloads, adopting open source where it is fit for purpose, or negotiating contracts that guarantee data residency and audit rights, ensure your sovereignty measures align with your business objectives. In short: be clear-eyed about your dependencies, address them with realistic measures, and keep the benefits of global technology.<a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:45%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"218\" height=\"218\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/in-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2026\/04\/1-Aiman.png?w=218\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1170291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/in-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2026\/04\/1-Aiman.png 218w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/in-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2026\/04\/1-Aiman.png?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:44.45%\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;My one piece of advice is to take a pragmatic, business-focused approach to sovereignty.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aiman Ezzat<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-e29dce7db2956c20207d85965d9589fc\" id=\"h-can-sovereignty-become-a-driver-of-innovation-and-competitive-advantage\"><strong>Can sovereignty become a driver of innovation and competitive advantage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<p><strong>Christian Klein<\/strong>:  Yes, it absolutely can. Digital sovereignty has become a foundation for security, resilience, and growth. It creates the trusted environment needed to adopt and scale new technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sovereign AI, for example, unlocks innovation across industries, whether it is in drug discovery, industrial automation, or any other domain where high-quality data and deep expertise matter. The competitive advantage increasingly comes from the ability to securely access and use enterprise and industrial data in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Digital sovereignty has become a foundation for security, resilience, and growth.

Trusted, governed, accountable AI is what scales, especially in regulated and mission-critical environments. That is how Europe can win the industrial race. The winners will not be thin tools or standalone agents, but the platforms that embed AI into governed, end-to-end business&nbsp;processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aiman Ezzat<\/strong>: Yes \u2013 if approached correctly, digital sovereignty can absolutely drive innovation and competitiveness. The key is to treat sovereignty not as a constraint, but as a framework for building genuine capability. When we balance strategic autonomy with access to best-in-class technology, sovereignty becomes a source of resilience and competitive differentiation \u2013 pushing us to design systems with greater security, transparency, and control, and ultimately to deliver better products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, investing in sovereign technology capabilities can foster homegrown innovation in Europe. We see that when teams focus on strategic needs \u2013 privacy, security, compliance \u2013 they often generate creative solutions that become value propositions in their own right. Done well, sovereignty is not just about compliance; it is a catalyst for innovation. Bleu is one example: we built something new to meet a clear market need, combining advanced cloud functionality with the highest level of data protection under French law. Sovereignty created the demand \u2013 and innovation filled it.<a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ddc1b4ff392e341dfce8394fa09dda83\" id=\"h-looking-forward\">Looking forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-32430ff00320fbdf645ec245cbad0d93\" id=\"h-what-is-the-role-of-european-ai-models-in-building-a-digitally-sovereign-europe\"><strong>What is the role of European AI models in building a digitally sovereign Europe?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Christian Klein<\/strong>: When people say Europe is falling behind in AI, I always ask: behind what exactly? If the race is for the next chatbot, maybe. But the real opportunity for Europe is industry AI, and SAP will be a large part of that. We have some of the world\u2019s highest-quality business data and deep industry expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, Europe needs the ability to use the best global technologies, but in a way that operates under European governance and rules. That balance is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why partnerships such as that between SAP and Mistral AI matter so much. They bring world-class AI, but on European terms \u2013 secure, compliant, and sovereign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aiman Ezzat<\/strong>: European AI models are central to sovereignty. If the most advanced models remain predominantly non-European, European businesses and governments face a structural dependency for a capability that is becoming critical to decision-making and day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agentic AI sharpens this challenge considerably. When autonomous agents make decisions and orchestrate other systems, the question is no longer only \u201cWhere is my data?\u201d \u2013 it becomes \u201cWho controls the decision loop?\u201d Europe needs players that can provide control frameworks to ensure real strategic autonomy. We will not achieve this by ignoring OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, but by harnessing their technologies alongside European champions such as Mistral. Our expanded strategic partnership with Mistral AI, jointly with SAP, illustrates this approach: delivering secure, scalable AI systems for highly regulated sectors with strict data requirements, including financial services, the public sector, aerospace and defense, and energy. European AI models enable innovation while keeping data and algorithms under European governance. They are a critical component of a digitally sovereign Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-profile-card\"><section class=\"profile-card
