Schwarz Digits and nuwacom launch strategic partnership for sovereign AI in Germany

nuwacom will now also run on the sovereign STACKIT cloud infrastructure — as part of a fully European AI stack from the data center to the application.

Koblenz/Heilbronn, June 24, 2026 – Schwarz Digits and nuwacom are entering a strategic partnership aimed at scaling sovereign AI solutions for European enterprises.

The enterprise AI platform nuwacom is now also available on Schwarz Digits' STACKIT cloud infrastructure, with data processing in Germany.

This creates an end-to-end European AI stack for businesses — from infrastructure to application — operated in Germany, compliant with EU regulation, and without training on business data.

An answer to European companies' sovereignty question

European companies — particularly mid-sized businesses — are under growing pressure to put generative AI to productive use without creating strategic dependencies on US hyperscalers or American AI providers.

The drivers behind this trend are the US CLOUD Act, the EU AI Act, and a growing awareness of vendor lock-in risks in business-critical architectures.

The partnership between Schwarz Digits and nuwacom addresses exactly this gap: a fully European AI stack for enterprise customers, from the data center to the application — with clear data sovereignty, transparent governance, and no compromises on functionality or performance.

From corporate memory to productive automation

This is precisely where nuwacom comes in: as an AI operating system for everyday work, the platform puts the organizational memory — the collective knowledge of an organization that AI can access directly — at its center.

This creates a secure, integrated, and scalable foundation for the productive use of generative AI across the entire enterprise. Building on this, nuwacom connects agents, workflows, and systems into seamless processes — enabling true automation, teamwork, and sustainably measurable results in everyday work.

What the partnership means in practice

For STACKIT customers: nuwacom is directly available as a productive enterprise AI platform — on infrastructure they already use and trust.

For nuwacom customers: an additional sovereign hosting location in Germany, operated by Schwarz Digits — with the security and compliance depth of the IT and digital division of Europe's largest retail group.

For the market: a referenceable, productively operated sovereign AI stack — not a concept or a statement of intent, but one built for real everyday use.

Generative AI only unlocks its value when it can access an organization's knowledge — not the internet. That's exactly why we built nuwacom as an AI operating system with organizational memory at its core. With STACKIT, Schwarz Digits' cloud, we're now bringing this platform to an infrastructure that guarantees European companies full data sovereignty.
Sascha Böhr · Founder und Co-CEO nuwacom
Sovereign AI infrastructure is becoming a decisive factor for companies in Europe. It allows them to unlock the value of their own data assets, benefit from AI solutions, and decide for themselves who has access to their data. We're delighted that nuwacom, as an AI operating system, is now available on STACKIT, combining security, performance, and full data sovereignty.

Outlook: Sovereign AI as the standard, not the exception

Schwarz Digits and nuwacom are strategically expanding the partnership, with a clear focus on the German and European Mittelstand (small and medium-sized enterprises).

Their shared goal: to move sovereign AI from a niche promise to the standard solution across the European economic area — productively deployable, regulatorily robust, and economically scalable.
