Frequently Asked Questions
What is sovereign technology?
Technology built, hosted, and governed entirely within a nation’s legal jurisdiction. Your data, your jurisdiction.
Why does sovereign technology matter for Europe?
It protects autonomy by keeping data, models, and compute under EU law, and in best case, keeps it under your direct control.
How does sovereign technology protect sensitive data?
All training, storage, and inference remain within European boundaries. Protect your data, workflows and intellectual property from prying eyes.
What risks arise from non-EU AI platforms?
Exposure to foreign laws, forced data access, and opaque vendor controls. No ability to control how your data is used by foundational AI model companies for training.
Does sovereign technology help with GDPR and the AI Act?
Yes. It aligns directly with EU transparency, residency, and audit requirements.
Can sovereign technology reduce vendor lock-in?
Yes. It avoids proprietary pipelines and enables cleaner technology transitions.
Is sovereign technology only for governments?
No. Banks, investment managers, family offices, insurers, technology firms, hospitals, utilities, and manufacturers increasingly require sovereignty.
What infrastructure is needed for sovereign technology?
EU-based compute, sovereign data lakes, secure MLOps, and open-source models, among many other options.
Are open-source models considered sovereign?
Yes, when hosted and governed within EU jurisdiction.
Does sovereign technology increase cost?
Not over time. It reduces reliance on premium foreign platforms.
Can companies use hybrid architectures?
Yes. Sovereignty can be applied selectively to high-risk systems.
How does sovereign technology improve resilience?
Local control prevents outages or policy shifts from foreign clouds.
How does sovereignty strengthen cybersecurity?
Legal locality improves detection, response, and containment.
Can existing systems migrate gradually?
Yes. Most organisations shift to sovereignty in phased transitions.
