The European Sovereign Cloud Day
summary
Europe frames sovereign cloud as a risk‑management ladder rather than a location checklist: the Commission uses an 180 million euro tender and an eight‑criteria framework to award services, and the proposed KADA defines four assurance levels (level 1 = EU data residency, level 2 = EU support/subcontractors + mitigations, level 3 = no foreign control of provider, level 4 = no foreign control of provider or software). Market facts driving the shift: the top three hyperscalers hold 60% of the global market, European IaaS share falls from ~25% (2017) to ~15% (2025), and analysts say 60% of EU orgs push for sovereign AI setups — hybrid models (customer‑managed, Euro‑stack, EU–US partnerships, hyperscaler sovereign offerings) emerge in practice.
