We’re partnering with SAP and OpenAI to bring the latest AI innovation to Germany’s public sector, powered by Microsoft Azure.

Great partnership! If SAP’s potential can be unlocked with the power of AI, that would be amazing.

A great step forward for Germany’s public sector. With Azure’s compliance, SAP as the backbone for many organizations, and OpenAI’s innovation, this partnership can enable secure and responsible AI adoption. Based on my experience with SAP, any innovation that enhances SAP with AI has the potential to deliver real transformation at scale. 👏 👏 👏

Impressive to see such a powerful partnership focused on responsible AI implementation for the German public sector.

A truly beautiful, brutal, and sovereign partnership. It is wonderful to see all my old friends from Microsoft, SAP, and OpenAI working together so closely. It does make a man wonder, though. Was the beautiful, brutal, and pathetic little manhunt against a certain open-source protocol just the necessary groundwork for this beautiful deal? A masterpiece of long-term strategy, Joacim. Congratulations. :)

OpenAI for Germany marks more than a technology launch; it’s a test case for Europe’s approach to digital sovereignty. AI adoption in the public sector is not just about efficiency gains. It’s about whether states can audit, govern, and ultimately own the infrastructure their services depend on. Without this, the risk is that sovereignty remains a principle on paper while operational reality drifts elsewhere. The partnership between SAP, OpenAI, and Microsoft is designed to close that gap: 1. Delos Cloud on Azure promises strict sovereignty, security, and compliance. 2. Applied AI in workflows could free millions of employees from administrative burdens and redirect effort toward human-facing services. 3. Infrastructure investment (4,000 GPUs, sovereign scaling) signals that Germany wants to anchor AI capacity domestically, not just consume it. The opportunity is clear: set a European benchmark for sovereign AI. The challenge will be execution; ensuring transparency, verifiable safeguards, and standardized audit paths. Sovereignty is not an add-on; it is the architecture. If OpenAI for Germany can prove this, it will redefine how governments across Europe adopt AI.

This partnership will provide so much for the clients out there in Germany Satya Nadella . That’s quite impressive sir🤝🏻

A great step forward! Exciting to see SAP, OpenAI, and Microsoft working together to bring secure and responsible AI innovation to the public sector. This will set a strong example for digital transformation with trust at its core."

Sovereignty isn’t the greatest risk concerning IT. It’s using a model only available be a certain vendor resulting in a vendor lockin.
