Capgemini has announced an expansion of its strategic partnership with Google Cloud, aiming to deliver end-to-end secure sovereign cloud solutions for organizations operating under strict regulatory and compliance requirements. Through this strengthened collaboration, Capgemini will support clients in adopting Google Cloud’s advanced AI technologies, including Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise. As a result, businesses can accelerate innovation, modernize mission-critical operations, and safeguard classified workloads in highly secure environments.
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, enterprises increasingly need cloud modernization without compromising sovereignty mandates. Therefore, this expanded partnership provides organizations with the ability to implement Gemini-powered, hyper-automated cloud operations that enhance cybersecurity, resilience, disaster recovery, and sovereign-aligned compliance. Additionally, joint clients can select the sovereignty model that best fits their needs across Google Cloud, Google Cloud Dedicated, and Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped solutions.

“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.”
Capgemini also highlighted the growing demand for secure AI modernization, especially in highly regulated industries. “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.”
As part of this initiative, Capgemini plans to establish a Google Sovereign Cloud Delivery Practice and Center of Excellence (CoE). This new practice will provide specialized advisory and delivery services tailored to unique sovereign requirements. Consequently, organizations can modernize essential applications and infrastructure such as ERP environments while ensuring compliance with strict data residency and operational mandates.

Moreover, Capgemini’s capabilities have recently strengthened through its acquisitions of Syniti, a leader in SAP data transformation, and Cloud4C, known for automation-driven managed services in hybrid and sovereign cloud environments.
With its newly achieved GDC partner status and authorization as a GDC air-gapped operator, Capgemini can now deliver a fully sovereign, completely managed service model. This offering is designed for organizations requiring total isolation from the public internet, particularly across European markets. Ultimately, the partnership enables critical missions such as secure logistics planning, threat analysis, and operational decision-making, while keeping sensitive data fully contained within protected enclaves.
By combining Capgemini’s deep transformation expertise with Google Cloud’s AI leadership, the partnership is positioned to deliver safe, compliant innovation at scale, ensuring unified legal, data, and operational control for business-critical systems.
