Bell and SAP Canada partner to strengthen Canada’s digital sovereignty

MONTRÉAL, QC and Toronto, ON – February 10, 2026 – Bell Canada (“Bell”) and SAP Canada (“SAP”) today announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly deliver a comprehensive Canadian-operated cloud solution designed to meet high standards of data protection and strengthen Canada’s digital sovereignty.  

The partnership will combine Bell AI Fabric’s secure national network, compute and data centre footprint with SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site (SCOS) solution and Canadian-based operations team. Together, the companies aim to deliver a trusted, fully Canadian-isolated cloud alternative for the public sector and regulated industries that require strict control over sensitive information and mission-critical workloads.  

The solution is intended to help ensure sensitive government, citizen and organizational data remain within Canadian borders, shielded from extra-territorial access. Delivered by security-credentialed personnel in specialized facilities, the platform aims to support compliance with data residency and sovereignty requirements while helping customers to modernize applications, adopt cloud services and drive innovation and AI adoption.
