If You Are Not Truly Sovereign in 2027, You Might Not Make It Past 2028
VentureBeat, Wednesday, September 30th, 2026
EDB argues data sovereignty is becoming a board-level currency in 2027, with Postgres as the underlying platform.
In EDB-sponsored partner content on VentureBeat, Max Romanenko argues that sovereignty has shifted from an economic advantage to a necessity driven by regulation, geopolitics, continuity, privacy, security and supplier dependence.
An EDB survey of 300 executives in the U.S., Germany and India found 72% say sovereignty matters more than a year ago, but only 30% have governance built in.
Romanenko predicts Europe will outspend North America on sovereign cloud in 2027, a chief sovereignty officer role will emerge, and Postgres will be the platform underneath sovereign AI.
