European Commission Chooses OVHcloud for Sovereign Cloud

On April 20, 2026, the consortium of OVHcloud, DEEP by POST Luxembourg Group, and Clever Cloud was selected by the European Commission to provide sovereign cloud services for EU institutions, bodies, and agencies. This significant initiative aims to bolster data security and control across the European Union, ensuring that sensitive governmental data remains within EU boundaries and is managed by trusted local providers.

The decision marks a pivotal shift in the European cloud landscape, emphasizing national data sovereignty and reducing reliance on external cloud service providers. This move not only enhances the EU's digital infrastructure but also aligns with broader geopolitical strategies to maintain control over critical data and digital assets. As the EU strengthens its sovereign cloud capabilities, the initiative could serve as a model for other regions looking to enhance their technological independence.
