On Wednesday, Accenture Plc (NYSE:ACN) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) disclosed that they have been selected by UK-based Sovereign AI (S-AI) to support the development and scaling of next-generation AI data centers across the EMEA region.
Through this collaboration, Accenture and Palantir will help establish a secure, resilient sovereign AI infrastructure to serve both government and commercial customers. S-AI is targeting the growing demand for advanced AI infrastructure as a key enabler of industrial expansion and national security.
Working alongside Accenture and Palantir, the company plans to accelerate the development and deployment of its sovereign-grade AI platforms, powered by Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) AI Factory infrastructure and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) technologies.
The effort is intended to strengthen economic security and digital resilience across EMEA, with future expansion planned for APAC.
The initiative will enable the build and operation of next-generation power, transmission, and compute infrastructure, supporting hyperscale, Nvidia-powered AI data centers based on the Dell AI Factory.
These facilities are designed to handle intensive AI workloads while delivering secure, high-performance operations for regulated industries. Palantir's Chain Reaction platform will coordinate the infrastructure rollout from energy generation through compute deployment.
Palantir will provide the software layer to manage critical infrastructure, while Accenture will lead large-scale digital transformation, delivery, and operational execution.
The Dell AI Factory with Nvidia will serve as the secure, high-performance backbone, helping accelerate the deployment of compliant, sovereign-grade AI solutions.
