The sovereign cloud platform

Companies are about to run differently.

Install, operate and control your software on infrastructure you own. Ready in minutes, sovereign by design. And when AI agents start acting inside your company, they act under your rules.

Run your software on infrastructure you own. Ready in minutes, sovereign by design—and under your rules, even when AI agents act.

Built with support from

  • Hetzner
  • Frankfurt School of Finance & Management
  • CODE University of Applied Sciences
  • Hessen Ideen

Built with the companies that can’t move to a US cloud.

  • Health Two clinic applications on the clinic’s own servers.
  • Logistics A software vendor installing inside its customers’ infrastructure.
  • Finance A precious-metals trader provisioning software under its own control.

The problem

Software doesn't run by itself.

What you see is the surface. Underneath: servers, updates, security, access, backups. That is what binds people and time, and why companies hand it to a cloud provider.

An iceberg: a small white tip above the waterline, a vast dark mass beneath it

Software needs infrastructure.

The choice

Until today, you had to choose.

A US cloud: ready in minutes, but your data under foreign law and the platform sets the rules. Your own servers: your data, but every installation becomes a project.

  • US cloud

    Ready in minutes.

    Foreign jurisdiction.

  • Your own infrastructure

    Your data.

    Weeks and a platform team.

Ready in minutes. Sovereign.

  • Your data.
  • Your jurisdiction.
  • A small team.

On your server, under your law. A small team is enough.

The innovation

One cockpit connects convenience and control.

Between you and your servers sits a control plane. You keep the overview; Akua provisions, manages, secures and observes. You choose where it runs.

Three application tiles standing on one blue control plane, which in turn stands on a cloud, a server rack and a small building: EU cloud, data center, on-premises

Applications on top. Your infrastructure underneath. One plane in between.

Software

Your applications, and the agents that operate them.

  • Your applications
  • Open-source packages
  • Internal tools
  • AI agents

Akua control plane

  • Provision
  • Manage
  • Secure
  • Observe
  • Identity

Your infrastructure

EU cloud, data center or on-premises. You choose where it runs.

  • Kubernetes
  • AWS / GCP / Hetzner
  • Databases
  • GitHub
  • Slack
  • Internal APIs

The product

Any software. On your server.

Say what the company needs. Akua runs it on your infrastructure, and asks you where it matters.

What you get

Install. Operate. Control.

As simple as an app store. As controlled as a bank. On your own server.

  • Install.

    Any software, and any agent, in minutes on your own or European infrastructure. App-store feel, Kubernetes depth, no lock-in.

  • Operate.

    Updates, security fixes and day-to-day operations run on the platform, increasingly by agents. No platform team required.

  • Control.

    Every agent has an identity like an employee. Rules decide what runs alone. Critical changes need a person. Everything lands in the audit log.

AI agents

Autonomous where it can be fast. Human where it is critical.

The next step is AI that acts on this foundation. Routine work runs by itself; a person decides when it matters.

Explore agents
A robot assembling a change inside a glass sandbox; a conveyor carries the finished package to a glowing gate where a human fingertip approves it before it continues to the production servers

  1. Autonomous inside the sandbox

    The agent develops, builds and tests in an isolated environment, with only the access its task needs.

  2. A human gate for critical changes

    Before anything reaches production, a person approves that specific change. Without approval, production stays as it is.

  3. Only the approved change moves on

    The agent stays in the sandbox. Identity, approval and change land in the audit trail.

Identity. Approval. Audit.

Why now

Regulation makes control a buying criterion.

Not a retreat from the cloud, but a conscious choice of where things run. The Deutsche Bundesbank calls it Cloud First, Smart Placement.

Independence

  • No lock-in.
  • Less platform dependency.

Demand

  • Regulated industries.
  • Sensitive data.

Law

  • GDPR
  • DORA
  • EU AI Act
  • EU Data Act
  • Health Sensitive data
  • Finance Regulated systems
  • Industry Critical processes
  • Public sector Digital sovereignty

Deutsche Bundesbank, April 2026: "Cloud First, Smart Placement".

Where this goes

The autonomous company.

Our path there: control over software, data and your own AI, on infrastructure you choose. People don't disappear. They move up: goals, guardrails, the decisions that matter.

Five glass platforms rising like stairs: a crowd on the lowest, fewer people on each higher one, and an empty blue platform at the top
  1. Today People operate software
  2. Level 1 AI assists
  3. Level 2 Agents act, critical under approval
  4. Level 3 Agents coordinate agents
  5. Level 4 The autonomous company
