- OPENAI for Germany will be launched in 2026 for the public sector
- SAP is committed to adding more GPU to support the request
- SAP sovereign tools will also be available on AWS
SAP has teamed up with Openai to launch OPENAI for Germany, a new sovereign alternative designed to meet the needs of the German public sector.
This decision means that AI tools such as Chatgpt will be available for government, administration and research establishments while guaranteeing compliance with EU data sovereignty and legal standards.
Fondant Delos Cloud of SAP (hosted on Microsoft Azure), Openai for Germany should be launched in 2026, but it will be a public sector offer for the conformity of sovereignty rather than a completely public tool for German citizens.
Openai becomes sovereign via SAP Partnership
“Collaboration will allow millions of public sector employees to use AI safely and in a responsibility while meeting strict data, security and legal standards,” wrote Openai.
The CEO of Openai, Sam Altman, is committed to working with local partners to ensure full range in the public sector. The CEO of SAP SE, Christian Klein, praised the partnership: “We bring together a sovereign expertise of the Cloud SAP with the main technology of OPENAI IA to open the way to AI solutions which are built in Germany, for Germany.”
In a separate announcement, SAP declared that it would extend Delos Cloud in Germany to 4,000 GPUs to support the growing demand for AI, with other planned investments, including tourism partnerships.
The longer -term objective of SAP is to extend sovereign options, both in other industries in Germany, but also in other European markets.
Collaboration also supports the `Made for Germany ” initiative for innovation, employment and global competitiveness, launched in July 2025 with the support of 61 companies and 631 billion euros (733 billion dollars).
At the same time, SAP also announced its intention to make SAP Sovereign Cloud capacities available on the European sovereign cloud AWS. The first region of the European sovereign cloud in Amazon should open its doors by the end of 2025 and will be located in Brandenburg, Germany.
