On January 22, 2026, the European Parliament adopted a report on technological sovereignty and digital infrastructure with cross-party support. The aim is to drastically reduce dependence on U.S. technologies, expand domestic capabilities, and secure control over Europe’s digital future. The resolution calls for reforms such as a “Cloud and AI Development Act” and reaffirms the enforcement of European laws such as the Digital Services Act (DSA).

KOBIL has been developing European security products for 40 years. Europe must not be dominated exclusively by foreign technology providers. Because we need digital security from Europe. To remain capable of action, and to protect our economy, our society, and above all, people.

European Digital Policy: from Ambition to Implementation

European digital policy has gained significant momentum in recent years. With regulatory frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the eIDAS Regulation (and eIDAS 2.0), the EU AI Act, as well as sector-specific requirements such as DORA in the financial sector, the EU is pursuing a clear course: digitalization yes – but only if it is legally compliant, transparent, and controllable.

Added to this is the political will to keep key digital technologies such as cloud infrastructures, artificial intelligence, digital identities, and platform economies more firmly in European hands. The debated “Cloud and AI Development Act” as well as demands for open-source approaches for publicly funded software underscore this ambition.

For companies, this means that digital solutions must not only be powerful, but must technically reflect European regulations from the outset. Compliance must not be added later; it has to be an integral part of the architecture from the very beginning.

Digital Sovereignty is a Business Responsibility

Digital sovereignty describes the ability to independently control data, identities, processes, and infrastructures. For companies, it has long become a competitive factor. Those who rely on platforms developed and operated outside the EU expose themselves to legal, economic, and security-related risks, such as extraterritorial access, lack of transparency, or limited control options.

Especially in sensitive areas such as digital identity, payment processes, contract execution, internal communication, or AI-supported decision-making processes, European legal compliance is crucial. This is where it becomes clear that technological sovereignty does not arise through renunciation, but through suitable, robust alternatives from Europe.

KOBIL: 40 Years of European Security and Identity Technology

For four decades, KOBIL has been developing security and identity solutions in Europe, with a focus on highly secure, legally compliant digital infrastructures. KOBIL’s technologies are designed to meet and technically enforce European requirements: data protection, traceability, audit trails, and control are firmly embedded in every layer of the systems.

This experience forms the foundation for a platform that today addresses companies across almost all industries.

KOBIL OneApp4All™: a SuperApp for Germany and Europe

The KOBIL SuperApp is a platform that has been proven over many years and already connects millions of users in urban environments, while digitalizing companies, organizations, and regulated industries. Fully secure and legally compliant within the EU.

The OneApp4All platform was developed in Europe and follows the principle of a SuperApp architecture: instead of a multitude of fragmented applications, a central, secure digital space is created in which different functions are brought together as integrated modules. Identity management, secure communication, payments, digital signatures, document management, and AI applications work seamlessly together. All data is stored on European servers.

For companies, this means: less complexity, fewer interfaces, fewer security risks – and at the same time, full control over data and processes.

KOBIL SuperApp is legally compliant “by Design”

A key difference compared to many international platforms lies in the architectural approach. The KOBIL SuperApp consistently relies on “Compliance by Design”:

This makes the platform particularly suitable for companies in regulated markets – from financial services to industry and mobility, all the way to critical infrastructures.

Sovereign AI and Large Language Models within the European legal Framework

The integration of AI and Large Language Models presents companies with new questions: Where is data processed? Who controls the models? Which legal system applies?

KOBIL enables the operation of AI systems entirely within European jurisdiction. Data processing, storage, and governance remain in European hands. Open-source components can be integrated without losing control over sensitive information. Audit trails and access controls ensure transparency and traceability – central requirements of the EU AI Act. This creates a secure foundation for AI-supported applications in companies, without dependencies on non-European platforms.

A Platform for a sovereign digital Europe

European digital policy defines clear goals. KOBIL delivers the technical implementation. The OneApp4All platform demonstrates that digital sovereignty, user-friendliness, and economic efficiency are not mutually exclusive – when technology is aligned with European values, laws, and requirements from the very beginning.

For companies, this means a secure, scalable, and legally compliant platform that bundles digital processes, reduces complexity, and creates future-proofing.

KOBIL stands for a secure, trustworthy digital Europe. We are actively making it happen.
