Snowflake, Thursday, September 17th, 2026
Snowflake integrates with German cloud provider STACKIT to support stricter European data sovereignty needs.
Snowflake announces an integration with STACKIT, the German cloud provider, aimed at customers with strict European data sovereignty requirements.

It describes how the integration keeps data within sovereign boundaries while retaining Snowflake platform capabilities. The announcement targets regulated industries and public sector organizations in Europe.
