UK-based AI infrastructure and solutions provider, Sovereign AI (S-AI) has selected Accenture, and Palantir Technologies Inc. to help it build and scale next-generation AI data centers across EMEA. The initiative is designed to deliver a resilient sovereign AI foundation for commercial and government sectors.
S-AI aims to address the rapidly expanding need for advanced AI infrastructure as a critical foundation for industrial growth and national security. This collaboration with Accenture and Palantir will help accelerate the development and deployment of its Dell AI Factory- and NVIDIA-powered sovereign-grade AI capabilities, supporting economic security and digital resiliency across EMEA, with plans to expand into APAC. According to recent Accenture research, 60% of European organizations plan to increase investments in sovereign AI technology over the next two years.

“S-AI is committed to building the next generation industrial base for AI and by investing in robust, scalable data centers in the UK and EMEA, we are poised to provide a solution which future proofs our customers for the requirements of the global digital economy,” said Bradd Lewis, CEO of Sovereign AI. “We’re committed to leading the next wave of enterprise AI, supported by resilient, integrated infrastructure and power solutions for critical sectors. Our transformative collaboration with Accenture and Palantir, powered by the Dell AI Factory and NVIDIA AI infrastructure, will help us strategically expand and scale our business for the benefit of our mutual customers.”
The initiative will help drive the construction and management of new generation, transmission and compute capacity, enabling the creation of advanced capabilities and hyperscale NVIDIA-powered data centers built for AI leveraging the Dell AI Factory. These centers can support the demands of AI workloads and help secure high-performing operations for regulated industries. Chain Reaction, Palantir’s operating system for AI infrastructure, will orchestrate this buildout from power generation to compute deployment.
Palantir will provide the software to operate and manage the critical infrastructure, while Accenture will lead digital transformation, operational excellence, and large-scale delivery, including sales and engineering support. The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA will serve as the secure, high-performance backbone essential for sovereign environments. This will help accelerate the delivery of S-AI’s sovereign-grade AI solutions, focused on secure, compliant and high-performing operations.
Bryan E. Rich, senior managing director at Accenture, added, “This collaboration will forge a new model for managing the expansion of safe, secure and resilient AI infrastructure to address the growing need for national and economic security across key markets. Together, Accenture and Palantir will help S-AI set a new standard for AI infrastructure, which can position EMEA at the forefront of industrial innovation and national security.”
“Palantir Chain Reaction software is a key advantage in the buildout of AI infrastructure—not only as an operating system for business expansion, but also for delivering enterprise AI capabilities to key verticals,” said Kevin Kawasaki, global head of business development at Palantir.
“Digital and economic security now require sovereign AI designed for efficient inference,” said Justin Boitano, vice president, Enterprise AI Platforms at NVIDIA. “S-AI’s collaboration with Accenture, Dell Technologies, Palantir, and NVIDIA sets the blueprint for deploying AI factories engineered to generate tokens at scale—and turn efficient inference directly into revenue.”
“The concept of sovereign AI isn’t just about compute power—it’s about ensuring entities maintain full control and ownership of their AI capabilities in an era where data sovereignty and security are non-negotiable,” said Arun Narayanan, senior vice president, Compute and Networking at Dell Technologies. “The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA gives S-AI and its customers the performance they need to train and deploy advanced AI models while helping them meet the most stringent regulatory and security requirements across EMEA. This is the foundation for AI that organizations can truly own and control.”
