This strategic partnership aims to enable digital sovereignty in Europe by integrating Stackit's sovereign cloud technology and scalability with Deloitte's expertise in consulting, regulatory compliance, industry knowledge, and implementation.
The collaboration supports the migration and operation of cloud infrastructures that align with European values of data protection, transparency, and control. It offers a competitive and resilient alternative to global providers amid increasing geopolitical tensions and digital dependencies.
