Technology should answer to people, not the other way around.

You don't own what's yours. They do. Sovereignty puts it back in your hands.

Your identity. Your data. Your AI.

E-Group builds sovereign digital infrastructure that keeps control where it belongs: with you.

The diagnosis & the answer

They build

The Default.
Addiction Infrastructure.

This is not analogy. It is diagnosis.

We build

The Cure.
Sovereign Infrastructure.

Not another product. Architecture you own.

Better in every way that matters

The sovereign alternative isn't a concession, it's an upgrade.

Sovereignty is often framed as a trade-off where you lose performance to gain ownership. We firmly disagree. The sovereign choice offers the same performance, the same capability, combined with actual ownership. The result? Full control.

Criterion The hyperscaler default The sovereign solution
Cost structure Per-token, per-API-call. Repriced unilaterally. Margin compounds against you as you scale. Linear pricing on compute you own. The more you use, the more cost-effective per unit.
Data residency Wherever they choose, subject to whichever jurisdiction owns them. Wherever you choose, subject to the laws of your jurisdiction.
Lock-in Proprietary APIs & formats. Leaving costs more than entering. Open standards. Portable formats. Designed so you can leave on the day you choose.
Jurisdictional risk US CLOUD Act exposure. EU AI Act compliance retrofitted. EU sovereignty built in from the foundation, not bolted on after the fact.
Continuity Service can be terminated, throttled, restricted. Has been, for sovereign customers. The infrastructure is yours. Service continues regardless of who is in the room.

The path

Every institution adopting AI is already on one of these paths.
Only one leads to actual control.

The default path · How you lose control

Dependency was the risk all along.

  1. 01

    Explore

    Teams adopt the tools to move faster.

  2. 02

    Integrate

    The tools move to the cloud. Dependence begins.

  3. 03

    Scale

    Data gravity sets in. Architecture is outsourced.

  4. 04

    Realise the risk

    Compliance gaps, lock-in, & residency questions surface.

  5. 05

    Lose control

    Leaving costs more than staying. Bargaining power is gone.

  6. 06

    Pay the price

    Higher cost, slower change, exposure you did not choose.

The sovereign path · How you keep it

Control today. Advantage tomorrow.

  1. 01

    Align

    Define the strategy & the sovereignty requirements first.

  2. 02

    Design

    A hybrid, compliant architecture built to your constraints.

  3. 03

    Build

    Deploy a governed platform on your data, in your environment.

  4. 04

    Scale

    Grow without losing governance, observability or control.

  5. 05

    Collaborate

    Connect to European & global ecosystems on your terms.

  6. 06

    Own your future

    Keep strategic control. Compound the advantage.

European leadership

E-Group doesn't just take part in Europe's sovereign infrastructure programmes,
it helps shape their direction.

See E-Group's role in the programmes

  • Co-leadAI workstream

    IPCEI-CIS

    IPCEI-CIS is the European Commission's flagship programme to build a sovereign, EU-controlled cloud and AI infrastructure — Europe's answer to its dependence on non-European hyperscalers. Backed by seven member states, nineteen enterprises and €3.5 billion, it sets the technical foundation the continent will run on for the next decade. E-Group co-leads the workstream responsible for its AI capabilities — helping decide how sovereign AI is built into the platform from the ground up — and holds a seat on the programme's Industrial Steering Board, the body that sets its strategic direction.

  • Nominated direct partner

    IPCEI AI

    IPCEI-AI is Europe's emerging flagship programme for industrial AI — the next step after cloud infrastructure, aimed at building the continent's own sovereign AI capability rather than renting it from abroad. The programme is still taking shape, and E-Group is already at the table: nominated by a member state as a direct partner candidate, and backed by memoranda of understanding with 27 leading European companies around its AI technology.

  • Antal KuthyFounder & CEO

    The thinker behind it

    E-Group’s founder and CEO is a sought-after international keynote speaker and thought leader on artificial intelligence and its ethical implications — including who owns it, whose values it serves, and how it remains accountable to people. In 2026, he co-chaired a roundtable on digital goods for humanity at the Vatican-convened Global Assembly of Nobel Laureates on AI. The values Antal stands for are reflected in E-Group’s project vision and technology roadmap.

What we have built

Hyperscaler-grade, without the dependency.

We offer the same capabilities as you have now, just better. With E-Group the sovereign difference means that you own what's yours, you're always in control so you can walk away fully intact whenever you want. You run it, in your environment, under your jurisdiction, on your terms.

The coalition is forming

Take a position.

The default has been the default because no one organised the alternative. We are organising it. There are five ways to participate: as a buyer, a builder, a partner, a channel partner, or an endorser. You can start by reading the papers or attending a convening, & commit when you are ready.
