The Servala Ecosystem
A collaborative network of sovereign managed service providers, cloud providers, software vendors, and implementation partners - working together to deliver managed applications free from vendor lock-in.
Servala Ecosystem Day 2025
In December 2025, we brought together Cloud Service Providers, Software Vendors, and Partners to shape the future of sovereign managed services. The event sparked important discussions about governance, quality standards, and collaborative growth.

What Sovereignty Means to Us
"Digital sovereignty of a state or organization necessarily includes complete control over stored and processed data as well as independent decision-making about who may access it. It further includes the ability to independently develop, modify, control, and supplement technological components and systems."
- German Digital Gipfel 2018, adopted by Netzwerk Souveräne Digitale Schweiz
Data Control & Autonomy
Complete control over stored and processed data. Independent decision about who may access your data and how it's used.
Freedom from Lock-in
Ability to switch providers without barriers. Open standards and interoperable interfaces ensure you're never trapped.
Jurisdictional Independence
Providers operate under European/Swiss jurisdiction. Your data is not subject to foreign regulations like the US Cloud Act.
Open & Transparent Foundations
Source code reviewable, modifiable, and adaptable. Open source foundations enable innovation and trust.
Security & Compliance
High security standards and data protection. Compliance with GDPR, ISO, and industry standards.
Certification in Development
We're developing certification criteria to ensure all ecosystem participants uphold these principles. Want to help shape the standards?
These principles were validated at the Servala Ecosystem Day 2025 by participants across all roles.
