Digital Sovereignty Through Digital Infrastructure - Where Does Saxony Stand?
summary
Saxony plans two new data centers (primary plus backup) targeted for production by the end of 2028, keeps citizen and business data on-premises for privacy and competitive reasons, and is rebuilding the aging administrative network with completion expected within two years. The region standardizes on the German administrative cloud, pilots LibreOffice and replaced Oracle Java, and consolidates roughly 1,000 digital staff into centralized services run through S4 NNG. Roadmap includes on-premise AI with NVIDIA GPUs and a push for Europe-made hardware and software.
