SAP CEO Christian Klein argues against Europe constructing its own data centers to compete with dominant American cloud providers, citing their extensive regional investments. He emphasizes SAP's collaborations with French AI company Mistral and Capgemini to enhance European data control. However, he views competing with major US hyperscalers as illogical and notes high European energy costs complicate new data center establishment. Klein advocates leveraging advanced technologies like AI to boost efficiency and improve supply chains, amid growing concerns over US-European geopolitical tensions.
Klein asserts that Europe's pursuit of independence from American cloud services is futile, advocating instead for harnessing technology like AI to enhance efficiency.
SAP's partnerships aim to empower European customers with greater control over their data, while emphasizing that replicating US cloud infrastructure is impractical for Europe.
