Cloud strategy in 2025 is no longer just about technology, it's about control, competition and the future of digital independence. 

As global cloud adoption intensifies, organizations are confronting tough new questions: How do we balance agility with compliance? How do we ensure sovereignty without sacrificing innovation? And how do we navigate a landscape shaped by international legislation, vendor lock-in and geopolitical influence?

Summary

This whitepaper unpacks the shifting dynamics behind cloud architecture choices from cloud models to sovereign initiatives and explores why Europe’s urgency around digital autonomy has reached a tipping point. Through examples and a global comparison of policies, it sheds light on the growing divergence between regions and the strategic paths leaders must now consider. 

As cloud technology becomes inseparable from business strategy, financial leaders face critical decisions that will define their resilience, competitiveness and regulatory alignment for years to come.

With 90% of enterprises expected to run multicloud environments but fewer than 10% having a clear strategy, the ability to make the right decisions is more critical than ever.

Curious what a resilient, sovereign digital future really looks like and what it takes to build cloud infrastructure that can thrive in a world without borders?
