Sovereign AI for Regulated Industries | SAP Sapphire Madrid 2026

See how SAP is helping regulated industries run AI with greater control, resilience, and sovereignty. At SAP Sapphire Madrid 2026, Philipp Herzig, Chief Technology Officer at SAP, explains how organizations can approach sovereignty end to end, with different levels of control for different business needs. From secure public deployments to select sovereign capabilities and full sovereignty for the most sensitive workloads, SAP gives customers flexibility to choose the right model for their regulatory, operational, and data requirements. The session highlights SAP Cloud Infrastructure as a key foundation for select sovereign capabilities, helping customers run workloads inside their region and under local rules. SAP also discusses the EU AI Cloud, introduced to serve frontier models from European data centers, and the availability of leading AI platforms in sovereign environments. For customers in regulated industries, public sector, and other sensitive environments, this means access to powerful AI capabilities while maintaining control over where data resides, how systems are managed, and how compliance requirements are met. The session also shares updates on the Mistral platform and Cohere North platform on SAP Business AI Platform, helping customers access leading models in sovereign cloud environments.
