“Europe has a very strong dependency on US hyperscale providers, services… and they realize now that that dependency is potentially going to be leveraged against them, and so they want more local capacity.”

“We spent a decade telling developers to ignore infrastructure because ’those hyperscalers are going to solve that for us,’ and now we realize that makes us very vulnerable to a lot of non-desirable outcomes.”

The concept developed by the European Commission sets out eight sovereignty objectives by which cloud services will be assessed going forward. The SEAL system, with five levels (0 to 4), records how dependent a provider is on non‑European actors. From this, a sovereignty score is derived that is intended to make public procurement more transparent and to strengthen Europe’s digital autonomy.

The eight sovereignty objectives (SOV) are:

  • Strategic sovereignty
  • Legal and judicial sovereignty
  • Data and AI sovereignty
  • Operational sovereignty
  • Supply chain sovereignty
  • Technology sovereignty
  • Security and compliance sovereignty
  • Environmental and sustainability sovereignty
