Session Abstract

Microsoft’s Sovereign Cloud strategy is transforming how nations and regulated industries achieve digital sovereignty without compromising innovation. In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into the three pillars of this strategy: Sovereign Public Cloud, Sovereign Private Cloud, and National Partner Clouds. You’ll learn what each model offers, how they differ, and why they matter for compliance, security, and trust. Drawing from my unique experience working on the National Partner Cloud for France, I’ll share practical insights, real-world challenges, and opportunities for organizations navigating this evolving landscape.

Note to event organizers

No politics in this session. Just presenting what Microsoft offers and sharing feedback from the field as part of the National Partner Cloud for France.
