MONTREAL – Bell Canada and SAP Canada have signed a deal to jointly develop a Canadian‑operated cloud solution aimed at serving Canadian governments and regulated industries that require strict control over sensitive information.
Under a memorandum of understanding, the companies will establish a fully Canadian-isolated cloud alternative intended to help ensure sensitive government, citizen and organizational data remain within Canada.
The partnership will combine Bell AI Fabric’s secure national network, compute and data centre footprint with SAP Sovereign Cloud.
It aims to support compliance with data residency and sovereignty requirements.
SAP Canada is also integrating Cohere’s enterprise-grade AI platform into SAP Sovereign Cloud.
John Watson, president of Bell Business Markets, Bell Cyber, AI Fabric and Ateko, says building a sovereign digital foundation is essential for Canada’s economic competitiveness.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 10, 2026.
