Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector: Joint Initiative by SAP, OpenAI, Germany, and Ukraine

The world is rapidly entering a new era — the era of artificial intelligence — where public institutions are becoming as innovative as private businesses. Both Germany and Ukraine are already demonstrating examples of such transformations.

SAP and OpenAI Partnership: AI for the Public Sector

SAP, which has supported digital transformation in public institutions for over fifty years, has announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI.
According to SAP CEO Christian Klein, the joint initiative “OpenAI for Germany” will combine OpenAI’s leading AI technologies with SAP’s proven public sector expertise.

The solution will operate on the sovereign Delos Cloud — an SAP subsidiary built on Microsoft Azure infrastructure. This setup allows government agencies, public services, and research institutions in Germany to access advanced AI tools within a fully secure environment that meets the highest standards for data sovereignty, security, and service quality.

“True value is created not just by technology itself but by its practical application. That drives progress and strengthens competitiveness,” emphasized Christian Klein. “We are proud to pave the way for AI solutions developed in Germany — for Germany.”

Ukraine: AI Already in Public Services
While SAP and OpenAI are building a sovereign AI ecosystem for Europe, Ukraine is already demonstrating practical AI adoption in the public sector.
Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has repeatedly highlighted that AI technologies are now integrated into government services, including:

• Testing an AI assistant in the “Diia” app to not only respond to user inquiries but also guide them through service procedures.
• Over half of “Diia” support requests are now processed by AI.
• Developing five new AI products aimed at making government processes faster and services more user-friendly.
• Creating a national large language model (LLM) adapted to the Ukrainian language and context.
• Establishing an AI Factory infrastructure to serve as a platform for developing national AI solutions.

“We are not just testing AI — we are making it part of the digital state. Our goal is for Ukraine to be among the top three countries globally in practical AI adoption by 2030,” Fedorov stated in a recent interview.

Shared Trend: AI as a Driver of Public Sector Efficiency
Although Germany and Ukraine are taking different approaches, they share a common goal: building a next-generation digital state where AI assists people, increases transparency, and accelerates decision-making.

The SAP–OpenAI partnership illustrates how global players integrate security, technology, and responsibility in public sector data management. Meanwhile, Ukraine demonstrates that even under challenging conditions, advanced AI solutions can be deployed, placing the country among technological leaders.

DIGITAL BUSINESS SOLUTIONS: Ukrainian Partner in Global Transformation

In this context, companies supporting Ukrainian organizations in integrating innovative management systems play a key role.

DIGITAL BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, an official SAP Silver Partner in Ukraine, specializes in implementing SAP Business One — a solution that allows businesses of any size to automate operations, optimize resources, and create a foundation for AI tool integration.

Such systems become the “brain” of modern business and public administration, as AI relies on high-quality data and well-structured processes.

Germany and Ukraine both demonstrate that the future of the public sector is not just digitalization but intelligent automation. SAP and OpenAI lay the foundation for secure AI adoption in European institutions, while Ukraine actively implements AI in real-world services. Companies like DIGITAL BUSINESS SOLUTIONS provide the practical side of this future, helping organizations transition from basic automation to intelligent management.

Today, it is clear: the future belongs to programs where AI is embedded in operational logic, not added “on top.” SAP Business One is one such tool, opening the path to a new era of intelligent technologies for Ukrainian businesses.
