Corti, a provider of AI infrastructure for healthcare, has announced the arrival of a so-called sovereign cloud platform for European healthcare organisations. This innovation enables hospitals, research institutes and eHealth providers to deploy advanced real-time AI systems within strict European privacy laws, without compromising data ownership or compliance. This makes Corti the first AI company to design a fully independent infrastructure for regulated healthcare markets.
By 2030, a global shortage of approximately 10 million healthcare workers is expected; technology plays a crucial role in this. Traditionally, AI suppliers faced a dilemma: rapid adoption of new technology or strict compliance with complex regulations. Corti breaks this paradigm with its sovereign cloud: a secure, compliant and scalable foundation that does not hinder innovation.
Switzerland as a pilot location
The first implementation will take place in Switzerland, the country with possibly the strictest regulations for medical data worldwide. In collaboration with Voicepoint, a platform for medical documentation, Corti is developing a fully locally managed AI ecosystem that complies with Swiss and European regulations. This will then serve as a blueprint for a broader rollout in other EU member states.
Unlike AI solutions that rely on hyperscaler clouds, Corti's infrastructure is designed for maximum independence. The platform runs within any public cloud, private cloud or a hospital's own data centre. This allows institutions to switch freely between providers without being tied to specific suppliers or geo-policies. From the third quarter of 2025, the Swiss infrastructure will process live patient data in a sovereign manner.
Strategic relevance
The global market for AI in healthcare is growing explosively. This market is expected to be worth more than 150 billion euros by 2030. In Europe, more than a third (37%) of organisations already have sovereign cloud services, and almost half (44%) expect to implement them before the end of 2025. At the same time, the EU AI Act focuses on safe, responsible AI from 2026 onwards, making independence from dominant tech players crucial. Corti's platform anticipates this by combining technological and legal autonomy.
Fully integrated AI platform
CEO and co-founder Andreas Cleve emphasises that Corti offers a vertically integrated platform, from pre-trained models to private cloud infrastructure. ‘Many AI suppliers build on shared infrastructure, models or third-party services. Corti controls the entire AI stack, which makes us uniquely suited to support secure and scalable AI in global healthcare,’ says Cleve.
According to the Dutch organisation Nictiz, cloud technology plays a key role in the modernisation of healthcare. By managing data and applications in a flexible and scalable manner, healthcare organisations enable telecare, remote patient monitoring and live updating of medical data. During a study visit to the United Kingdom, a delegation from Nictiz was introduced to cloud applications in hospitals such as Milton Keynes and the Cleveland Clinic London. These institutions use cloud-based advanced analytics tools to process large patient data sets, identify trends and perform predictive analytics for prevention and personalised treatments.
In the Netherlands, this ties in seamlessly with the objectives of the Integral Care Agreement, which focuses on efficient, outcome-oriented care. The transition to the cloud enables continuous innovation, knowledge sharing and workload reduction – crucial in times of staff shortages. The Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa) is playing its part by switching to public cloud systems to make data processing future-proof.
