Review of the Schwarz Digits Partner Summit 2025

The demand for sovereign cloud and AI in Europe has never been higher. This was impressively demonstrated on November 26: over 400 partners accepted our invitation to the new Lidl headquarters to discuss strategies for the future of our European partner ecosystem. The unanimous conviction: Only by working closely together can we transform the current challenges into scalable growth.

Setting the strategic course for Europe

The agenda included trend-setting keynotes on cloud computing and artificial intelligence. One thing became crystal clear: STACKIT is on its way to becoming a European hyperscaler. With our uncompromising focus on European values and our focus on data sovereignty, we enable our partners to securely meet even the strictest compliance requirements of their customers.

Networking & deep dives at eye level

Away from the stage, our partners used the day intensively for personal discussions on topics such as cyber security, data & AI. This also applied to our management level. Our CEO Bernie Wagner and the management team were in the thick of things rather than just being there and took the opportunity to receive direct, unfiltered feedback from our partners.

Full house: a strong signal for digital sovereignty

The response was overwhelming: the event was fully booked to the last seat! A strong signal that shows us: The market is waiting for an efficient, digitally sovereign ecosystem in Europe. And that's exactly what our content delivered. Our partners benefited from exclusive previews of new tools, the presentation of partner benefits and technical deep dives into our services.

Let's shape the future together! Save the Date: We'll see you again on September 16, 2026 - the day before our Cloud X Summit, we cordially invite you to the next Partner Summit. More information will follow in 2026 - we look forward to seeing you there!
