Cleura prepares AI platform and inference services on Compliant Cloud

System integrators, software vendors and technology platforms can build their own AI offerings on the platform.

Cleura is close to launching an AI platform and inference services for customers and partners. The services run on Compliant Cloud, which Cleura operates exclusively within the EU. They target organisations that use AI on sensitive data.

Why control over AI infrastructure matters

AI is moving from pilot projects into core business processes. Organisations now need to know where their data sits, who can access it and how they can move it. In healthcare, finance and the public sector, these are regulatory questions as much as technical ones.

How the platform works

Compliant Cloud runs on the same pure OpenStack platform as Cleura’s Public Cloud. Access requires mutual verification, and only security-cleared EU personnel operate the environment. Data stays in the region where the customer created it.

The AI platform is the first step in a planned build-out. Cleura will add compute capacity and a marketplace of building blocks for data and AI development.

“Sovereign AI is fast becoming a priority for European businesses,” says Rohan Narula, CEO of Cleura. “Most leading AI services are subject to foreign legislation. Businesses therefore face growing uncertainty over where their data ends up and who can force access to it. Before customers run models on sensitive data, we at Cleura wanted data isolation in place. We also wanted the platform aligned with the EU Data Act and the proposed Cloud and AI Development Act. Auditors will examine every organisation that puts AI into regulated processes, so the infrastructure underneath has to hold up.”

The regulation behind it

The EU Data Act has applied since September 12, 2025 and gives cloud customers a legal right to switch provider. Because Cleura runs pure OpenStack, configurations and workloads can move to any compatible provider. The European Commission proposed the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) on June 3, 2026. The proposal includes a framework for public bodies to procure sovereign cloud services.
