EnterpriseDB (EDB), the leader in sovereign AI and data platforms, released new research revealing a significant divide between enterprises successfully leveraging agentic and generative AI (GenAI) and the 87% at risk of falling behind due to siloed data, fractured infrastructure, and underutilized AI. Based on in-depth interviews with 2,050 senior executives spanning 13 countries and grounded in over 15,000 simulations, the report Sovereignty Matters: A Global Blueprint for Sovereign, Agentic, and Generative AI shows that organizations treating AI and data sovereignty as a mission-critical priority achieve up to five times higher return on investment (ROI) in innovation, efficiency, and long-term competitive advantage.
Prioritizing AI and data sovereignty predicts 90%+ likelihood of GenAI and agentic AI success.
87% of enterprises risk lagging behind due to fragmented data, infrastructure silos, and underutilized AI.
The “Deeply Committed” 13% achieve 5x ROI, 2.5x confidence, and 2x AI deployment rates versus peers.
Sovereignty enables secure, compliant access and governance of data across hybrid environments.
Postgres and hybrid architectures are foundational to sovereign, scalable AI data platforms.
A comprehensive report and self-assessment tool help enterprises benchmark and plan next steps.
Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB, stated, “The enterprises seeing real returns from agentic and GenAI have something in common: They’ve made sovereignty over their AI and data a deliberate foundation of their platform strategy, not an afterthought.” These leaders build architectures designed to securely scale intelligence across hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments, enabling democratized agentic AI while meeting compliance and trust mandates.
While over 95% of enterprises aim to own their AI and data platforms by 2028, only a small fraction are effectively balancing data access, security, and compliance with scalable AI adoption. The report identifies enterprise segments like “Strivers,” “Half-Ins,” and “Sideliners” who remain stalled, risking competitive disadvantage in the rapidly evolving AI economy projected to generate $15.7 trillion economic impact by 2030.
Devin Pratt, Research Director at IDC, emphasized, “Success hinges on AI and data that is sovereign by design — available anywhere, in any form you need. Early adopters show hybrid environments and technologies such as Postgres provide a strong foundation. Those who fail to prioritize sovereignty risk being left behind.”
EDB is releasing Building a Data and AI Platform with PostgreSQL: Transforming Your Business with Intelligent Data this Fall, a practical guide for applying sovereignty principles and scaling GenAI securely.
