The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a fully featured, independently operated sovereign cloud backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances, and legal protections designed to meet the needs of European governments and enterprises. The AWS European Sovereign Cloud infrastructure is entirely located within the EU and operates independently from existing AWS Regions. Customers using the AWS European Sovereign Cloud benefit from the full power of AWS, including the same service portfolio, security, availability, performance, familiar architecture, APIs, and innovations such as the AWS Nitro System. By making NiCE’s agentic AI solution available on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, organizations in highly regulated industries can accelerate AI adoption and unlock greater business value while maintaining control over sensitive data and meeting digital sovereignty requirements.

Advancing Agentic AI for Regulated Markets

NiCE is a leader in CX AI, unifying AI agents and human agents to orchestrate intelligent, goal-oriented outcomes across the customer journey. With its agentic AI solution planned for availability on AWS European Sovereign Cloud, European organizations will be able to deploy AI agents, real-time copilots, workflow automation, and AI-powered analytics capabilities in an environment designed to meet digital sovereignty needs and support customer requirements.

For example, a European financial institution could deploy NiCE’s AI agents on AWS European Sovereign Cloud to automate routine service requests, support human agents with real-time guidance, and personalize customer interactions while maintaining operational autonomy and keeping customer data within the EU.

“What sets NiCE apart is enterprise-grade agentic AI engineered for the world’s most regulated organizations, purpose-built with reliability, security, compliance, and privacy that organizations can’t compromise on,” said Dorothy Copeland, Chief Partner Officer at NiCE. “By extending our agentic AI solution to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, NiCE enables Europe’s most regulated organizations to deploy next-generation AI capabilities on an independent cloud infrastructure located within the EU, supporting their digital sovereignty needs while accelerating AI-first customer experience transformation.”

Supporting Europe’s Digital Sovereignty Priorities

Data governance and compliance remain top priorities for organizations operating under EU regulatory frameworks. NiCE’s sovereign cloud strategy, including existing deployments in the EU, U.K., and Australia, reflects its continued commitment to delivering secure, scalable, AI-driven CX solutions that support customers’ regional and regulatory requirements. The addition of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud gives customers an uncompromising choice: achieving total digital sovereignty while continuing to innovate at pace.

“As AI governance becomes a strategic priority across Europe, sovereign cloud environments are evolving from a compliance requirement to a key enabler of innovation. Organizations increasingly need solutions that not only meet stringent data residency and regulatory obligations, but also deliver the agentic AI, automation, and real-time insights required to transform customer experience,” said Oru Mohiuddin, Research Director, IDC. “The combination of NiCE’s agentic AI capabilities with the AWS European Sovereign Cloud addresses a growing market need: enabling regulated organizations to pursue AI-led transformation while maintaining control over data, operations, and governance within the EU.”

Thomas Pöppe, CIO, AOK Bayern: “As we operate in an increasingly complex regulatory and competitive environment, especially around the use of AI, we see sovereignty as becoming essential to our long-term AI strategy. The combination of NiCE’s agentic AI capabilities and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud offers a compelling path forward, allowing us to innovate while meeting evolving requirements around data residency, governance, and operational control.”
