Sovereign AI (S-AI), a UK-based provider of AI infrastructure and solutions, has partnered with Accenture and Palantir Technologies Inc. to develop and scale next-generation AI data centers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). The collaboration aims to deliver a resilient, sovereign-grade AI foundation powered by the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, supporting commercial enterprises, government, defense, healthcare, and finance sectors with secure, compliant, and high-performance AI capabilities.
As AI becomes integral to industrial growth, national security, and economic competitiveness, organizations require infrastructure that ensures data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience. Sovereign AI’s initiative responds to this by creating hyperscale, NVIDIA-powered data centers designed specifically for AI workloads in regulated industries.
The collaboration combines Accenture’s expertise in large-scale transformation and delivery with Palantir’s Chain Reaction operating system, which manages the full infrastructure lifecycle—from power to compute. The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA serves as the secure, high-performance foundation, enabling efficient inference and model deployment while meeting stringent security and sovereignty requirements.
“S-AI is committed to building the next generation industrial base for AI and by investing in robust, scalable data centers in the UK and EMEA, we are poised to provide a solution which future proofs our customers for the requirements of the global digital economy,” said Bradd Lewis, CEO of Sovereign AI. “We’re committed to leading the next wave of enterprise AI, supported by resilient, integrated infrastructure and power solutions for critical sectors. Our transformative collaboration with Accenture and Palantir, powered by the Dell AI Factory and NVIDIA AI infrastructure, will help us strategically expand and scale our business for the benefit of our mutual customers.”
The new data centers will support advanced AI capabilities while maintaining full control and ownership of data and models—critical in an era where sovereignty and security are non-negotiable. Chain Reaction orchestrates efficient buildout and operations, ensuring high-performing, compliant environments that turn inference into measurable business value.
Bryan E. Rich, senior managing director at Accenture, added, “This collaboration will forge a new model for managing the expansion of safe, secure and resilient AI infrastructure to address the growing need for national and economic security across key markets. Together, Accenture and Palantir will help S-AI set a new standard for AI infrastructure, which can position EMEA at the forefront of industrial innovation and national security.”
“Palantir Chain Reaction software is a key advantage in the buildout of AI infrastructure—not only as an operating system for business expansion, but also for delivering enterprise AI capabilities to key verticals,” said Kevin Kawasaki, global head of business development at Palantir.
“Digital and economic security now require sovereign AI designed for efficient inference,” said Justin Boitano, vice president, Enterprise AI Platforms at NVIDIA. “S-AI’s collaboration with Accenture, Dell Technologies, Palantir, and NVIDIA sets the blueprint for deploying AI factories engineered to generate tokens at scale—and turn efficient inference directly into revenue.”
“The concept of sovereign AI isn't just about compute power—it's about ensuring entities maintain full control and ownership of their AI capabilities in an era where data sovereignty and security are non-negotiable,” said Arun Narayanan, senior vice president, Compute and Networking at Dell Technologies. “The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA gives S-AI and its customers the performance they need to train and deploy advanced AI models while helping them meet the most stringent regulatory and security requirements across EMEA. This is the foundation for AI that organizations can truly own and control.”
This initiative reinforces the strategic importance of sovereign AI in positioning EMEA as a leader in industrial innovation, economic security, and digital resiliency.
