TOP 10 – PREDICTIONS FOR 2026

COMPANY IN FOCUS: AWS CEO: MATT GARMAN FOUNDED: 2002

AWS is driving the future of data and cloud sovereignty with its European Sovereign Cloud, set to launch by the end of 2025. This independent, fully managed platform ensures that both data and metadata remain entirely within the EU, governed and operated exclusively by EU-based teams. With advanced sovereignty controls such as customer-managed encryption keys, strict data residency guardrails and operational autonomy supported by a German-led governance structure, AWS offers compliance, accountability and innovation for regulated industries.
