Federation Onboarding

Connect sovereignly to the European federated network — without handing over control of your data.

The challenge

Why federation onboarding is needed

🔒

Vendor lock-in with hyperscalers

Organisations become increasingly entangled with the proprietary services of non-European cloud providers. Switching becomes technically and contractually harder over time.

🌍

Unclear data flows outside the EU

Where sensitive data is actually processed and stored is not fully visible to many organisations. That makes demonstrable compliance difficult.

🧩

No shared standards between systems

Without open standards, every system remains an island. Connecting with partners and other European infrastructure costs unnecessary time and custom work.

Our approach

From current stack to federated node

Assessment of your current stack

We map out which systems, data flows and dependencies characterise your current infrastructure — the foundation for a responsible transition.

Integration via open standards (Gaia-X style)

We connect your systems via open, interoperable standards inspired by Gaia-X — so you are never again locked into a single vendor's proprietary ecosystem.

Data-stays-at-the-source setup

Data stays where it belongs: at the source, under European jurisdiction. We set up processing so that sensitive data is never moved unnecessarily.

Connection to the federated network

As a final step, your organisation joins as a fully-fledged node in Sovereign AI-Grid's federated network — sovereign, interoperable and without new dependencies.

Policy & value alignment

Part of a larger federated network

The federated model

Federation Onboarding makes your organisation part of Sovereign AI-Grid's wider federated network: not a closed platform, but collaborating sovereign nodes under European jurisdiction.

Steward ownership guarantees that the federation continues to serve its participants — not shareholder value.

EuroHPC AI Gigafactories

Onboarding to our network contributes to the EuroHPC AI Gigafactories programme (Article 12b) — Europe's route to shared, sovereign AI compute capacity without new dependencies.

Joining means helping build European digital autonomy, not merely making use of infrastructure.
