Airbus to migrate critical apps to a sovereign Euro cloud

SUMMARY

Airbus plans to migrate critical applications to a European cloud. The aerospace manufacturer aims to ensure sensitive data remains under European control. Catherine Jestin, EVP of digital, stated, “I need a sovereign cloud because part of the information is extremely sensitive from a national and European perspective.”

They estimate an 80% chance of finding a suitable provider as the search for proposals begins in January. The contract could exceed €50 million and last up to ten years. Concerns about U.S. regulations like the CLOUD Act motivate this push for digital sovereignty. Airbus seeks clarity on EU regulations regarding data sovereignty and potential service interruptions.
