Capgemini has expanded its strategic partnership with Google Cloud to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end sovereign cloud solutions designed for highly regulated and security-sensitive environments. Through this expanded collaboration, Capgemini will enable organizations to adopt Google Cloud’s advanced AI technologies, including Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise. As a result, enterprises can accelerate innovation and modernize critical business operations while ensuring that sensitive data, classified workloads, and regulatory compliance requirements remain fully protected within secure cloud environments.
Moreover, this strengthened partnership enables organizations to leverage Gemini-powered, hyper-automated cloud operations to improve cybersecurity posture, operational resilience, disaster recovery readiness, and sovereignty-aligned compliance frameworks. In addition, customers will gain flexibility by choosing sovereignty deployment models that best fit their regulatory and operational needs, including Google Cloud, Google Cloud Dedicated, and Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped environments.
“It’s critical that organizations are empowered to roll out AI and modernize applications in ways that adhere to sovereign requirements,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem at Google Cloud. “Capgemini is a vital partner in this initiative, helping customers use Google Sovereign Cloud to accelerate digital transformation while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and sovereignty.”

At the same time, the collaboration addresses one of the biggest challenges organizations face today—balancing AI innovation with strict data protection and compliance mandates. Many enterprises want to leverage AI-driven transformation but must also meet regulatory frameworks related to data residency, security, and operational control.
“While the potential of AI in modernizing critical operations is clear, there are constraints due to stringent regulatory mandates on data and compliance,” said Fernando Alvarez, Chief Strategy and Development Officer and Group Executive Board member at Capgemini. “With our deep industry expertise combined with our proven track record in implementing AI-first solutions that deliver real business transformation, Capgemini is well positioned to address these challenges. Becoming a Google Cloud air-gapped operator enables us to further provide trusted and secure end-to-end sovereign solutions that enable resilience, help maintain autonomy and security, and foster innovation at scale.”
Furthermore, Capgemini plans to establish a dedicated Google Sovereign Cloud Delivery Practice along with a specialized Center of Excellence (CoE). This initiative will provide advisory services, technical implementation support, and operational guidance tailored to sovereign cloud requirements. Consequently, organizations can modernize critical infrastructure such as ERP systems while maintaining strict compliance with data residency laws and operational mandates.

Additionally, Capgemini’s sovereign cloud capabilities are strengthened by its recent acquisitions of Syniti and Cloud4C. Syniti enhances Capgemini’s ability to handle large-scale SAP data transformation projects, while Cloud4C adds automation-driven managed services expertise for hybrid and sovereign cloud environments. Together, these capabilities create a stronger foundation for delivering complex, compliance-driven cloud transformation projects.
With newly achieved Google Distributed Cloud partner status and authorization as a GDC air-gapped operator, Capgemini can now deliver fully managed sovereign service models. This is particularly important for organizations that require complete isolation from public internet connectivity, especially across European markets where regulatory standards are extremely strict. As a result, the partnership supports mission-critical use cases such as secure logistics coordination, threat intelligence analysis, and sensitive operational decision-making using fully contained data environments.
Overall, the expanded partnership reinforces Capgemini’s position as a trusted AI-driven transformation partner. When combined with Google Cloud’s advanced AI and infrastructure capabilities, the collaboration enables organizations to innovate safely while maintaining strong legal, data, and operational control. Ultimately, this initiative helps enterprises accelerate digital transformation while ensuring security, compliance, and sovereignty remain at the core of their cloud strategy.
