Sovereign Platform & Innovation Engineering

The Sovereign Platform & Innovation Engineering (SPIN) business unit develops sovereign, secure and high-quality digital systems for government, industry and society. We combine digital sovereignty with “security by design”, robust software and cloud architectures, and quality engineering. From requirements analysis through architecture and development to integration, evaluation and operation, we take a holistic view of the entire lifecycle of complex systems. Our areas of focus range from Zero Trust, identity and privacy, through critical infrastructure and sovereign AI, to modelling and requirements engineering. In this way, we translate research into practical platforms, reusable building blocks and effective solutions.
