Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is Google Cloud's platform for building, deploying and governing AI agents. It became the successor to Vertex AI in April 2026, and Vertex AI Agent Builder is now part of it. For example, Agent Engine is now called Agent Runtime and Vertex AI Studio is now Agent Studio. The platform is delivered as a managed cloud service and through APIs, and gives access to Google's own models as well as third-party models.

The service is provided by Google, part of Alphabet and headquartered in the United States, and falls under US jurisdiction, including the CLOUD Act. Customers can choose where stored data is kept. With US and EU multi-region endpoints, processing stays within the chosen region; the EU multi-region covers EU member states only, so it excludes the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Global endpoints offer no guarantee about where processing takes place. A European organisation should therefore explicitly select an EU location and an EU endpoint.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
