Deutsche Telekom and T-Systems are making Europe more independent with their T Cloud. The Bonn-based company will announce the launch of its cloud offering at Digital X in Cologne on September 10. According to the Draghi Report from 2024, the EU is dependent on technologies from abroad for digital products, services, and infrastructure. This poses financial, operational, and strategic risks for companies and governments: unpredictable cost explosions, interruptions to critical processes or supply chains, and threats to intellectual property and sensitive data. Sovereign solutions from Europe are therefore urgently needed.
With the launch of T Cloud, Deutsche Telekom/T-Systems is focusing on the growing demand for sovereign solutions in Europe. At the heart of the T Cloud offerings are sovereign cloud services that are provided to customers at different levels of sovereignty. The key feature: instead of closed systems, T Cloud pursues a multi-cloud approach and integrates a wide variety of platforms and services into a seamless partner ecosystem. In addition to hyperscaler cloud solutions and consulting services, T Cloud also offers Telekom's own cloud infrastructures.
T Cloud is the answer to Europe's call for greater digital self-determination. T Cloud combines all of Telekom's cloud expertise in individually combinable packages – for digital sovereignty, security, and economic transformation.

Lars Neumann, Head of T Cloud
Companies can define their cloud according to their needs—depending on their industry, workload, and regulatory environment. Companies retain control over infrastructure, data flows, and development without being tied to a specific provider. And they retain control over their infrastructure and can respond flexibly to market changes. Customers choose the level and combination of functionality and sovereignty they need for their workflows based on their requirements:
Or all three at once. A European team is available as a point of contact and accompanies customers on their individual path to sovereign solutions. In addition, T Cloud offers maximum security. It protects sensitive data and workflows through GDPR-compliant infrastructure, zero-trust architecture, and 24-hour monitoring by the SOC (Security Operations Center) – directly from certified European data centers.
T Cloud offers security in line with European standards – GDPR-compliant, certified, and transparent. It protects sensitive data and builds trust as the basis for digital self-determination.
