SOVEREIGN AI SOLUTIONS

AI You Control

Sovereign AI means you decide where your AI runs, where your data lives, and which models power it. Axelera AI gives governments, regulated industries and enterprises the inference hardware and open software to make that control real, be it at the edge, on premises, or in a sovereign cloud.

WHAT SOVEREIGNTY MEANS TO US

Sovereignty isn’t a geography. It’s control.

Sovereign AI is often reduced to geographic boundaries and borders. We think about it more practically: an organization is sovereign when it can decide - and keep deciding - how its AI works. That comes down to four kinds of control.

Control of your infrastructure

Run inference where you choose; embedded in the device as physical AI, at the edge, in your own data center, or with a sovereign cloud partner. Hardware you own and operate, in the standard systems your teams already know.

1

Control of your data

Inference happens where the data is created. Whether it's patient records, population details or identities, live security video or proprietary designs, nothing needs to leave your "boundaries" - be it physical, geographical, or just your control.

2

Freedom to choose or build your models

Deploy open-weight models, fine-tune them on your own data, or bring models you built yourself. Your hardware shouldn’t decide which models you’re allowed to run — or who you depend on to update them.

3

Control of your economics

Energy-efficient inference on infrastructure you own means costs you can plan for, rather than metered capacity set by someone else. Sovereignty only scales when it’s affordable.

4

Resilient by Design

Supply chains can determine access. With Axelera AI, our supply chain was built with resiliency in mind. Axelera silicon is designed and engineered in Europe and manufactured in multiple countries, giving organizations everywhere an alternative for a technology this strategic.

WHEN SOVEREIGNTY MATTERS

Not every AI workload needs to be sovereign. These do.

If one or more of these sounds like your organization, where your AI runs is a strategic decision — not just an IT one.

Your data can’t cross a border

Personal, health, financial or classified information subject to data-protection and residency rules, where sending to an external service just isn’t an option.

You answer to a regulator

Frameworks such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, NIS2 and DORA raise the bar on knowing where models run, what they process and who can access them.

The network can’t be trusted, or does not exist

Field operations, defense, remote industrial sites and critical infrastructure where AI has to keep working disconnected, in real time.

The dependency itself is the risk

Export controls, vendor concentration and shifting geopolitics can change access to compute overnight. Strategic workloads need options.

Your IP is the product

Models fine-tuned on proprietary data, your operations, production knowledge, and designs are competitive assets that belong inside your walls.

You run AI around the clock

Always-on inference — cameras, copilots, document pipelines — is where owned, efficient infrastructure pays back fastest and stays predictable.

WHO WE SERVE

Built for organizations that can’t outsource control.

  • Government & public sector

    On-premises language models for case work, document processing and citizen-service assistants in local languages — with records that never leave government infrastructure.

  • Defence & security

    Real-time vision and sensor processing at the tactical edge, in disconnected or contested environments, on hardware with a transparent, allied supply chain.

  • Healthcare & life sciences

    Medical imaging support, clinical documentation and research workloads that run inside the hospital or research network, where patient data already lives.

  • Financial services

    Fraud detection, document intelligence and internal copilots that meet strict data-handling and operational-resilience expectations.

  • Critical infrastructure & energy

    Grid and asset inspection, predictive maintenance and site security, processed on site where uptime and locality matter most.

  • Industrial & manufacturing

    Visual inspection and process AI on the factory floor that keep production data and know-how inside the plant.

  • Smart cities & public safety

    Privacy-conscious video analytics processed locally, so insights can be shared without the footage ever leaving the camera network.

  • AI factories, research & sovereign cloud

    National and regional AI infrastructure and sovereign cloud services that serve enterprises, researchers and public institutions at scale.

SOVEREIGNTY AT EVERY LAYER

From a single camera to a national AI factory

One architecture and one software stack, so the control you establish at the edge carries all the way to the data center

Sovereign AI, answered.

Is sovereign AI only for European organizations?

No. Any government, enterprise or nation that wants control over its AI infrastructure, data and models can build a sovereign approach. We’re rooted in Europe and work with customers and partners around the world.

Does sovereign mean we can’t use the cloud?

Not at all. Sovereignty is about who holds control, not only where the server sits. Many organizations combine edge and on-premises inference with sovereign cloud providers that operate under the right jurisdiction.

Which models can we run?

Popular open-weight models for vision, language and multimodal workloads, as well as models you train or fine-tune yourself. [Link to current supported model list.]

How does this help with regulation such as the EU AI Act?

Running inference on infrastructure you control makes it easier to document where models run, what data they process and who can access them — the foundations of most compliance programs. Compliance itself depends on how each system is designed and governed.

Do we need to replace our existing racks?

No. Axelera technology fits within the power budget if your existing racks, no giga-watts required.

Voyager SDK — the software layer that keeps you in control

Deploy any model. Any weight. Any operator. One toolchain supports all of your inference needs across each architecture generation, without a rewrite. Axelera Wingman, our agentic development layer, helps port existing inference pipelines and optimize them for Axelera hardware, all with a natural langauge interface.

Why Axelera AI

Sovereignty you can actually deploy

Control is only meaningful if it’s practical. We build for the realities of sovereign deployments: limited power, existing infrastructure, open models and long-term independence.

European by design, trusted globally

Headquartered in Eindhoven, with silicon designed and engineered in Europe and customers deploying it worldwide. A strategic alternative, no compromises.

Efficiency that makes local AI realistic

Digital In-memory compute delivers the highest throughput per watt, and the flexibility to run large or small models concurrently, all in the power and cooling envelopes your sites already have.

Drops into infrastructure you already run

Industry standard form factors integrated into globally available OEM machines, or add them to open slots within your own devices and/or servers. Add AI capacity without rebuilding around a new platform.

Your models, your tokens

The Voyager SDK supports any model, any weight and any operator, with one toolchain from embedded to data center. No proprietary model catalog standing between you and your roadmap.

An ecosystem built for choice

The Partner Accelerator Network spans sovereign AI consulting, models, hardware providers and cloud partners, plus founding membership of the European Fabless Semiconductor Association.

Trusted in sovereign programs

Already chosen to support multiple EuroHPC AI Factory infrastructure, including IT4LIA in Italy and MeluXina-AI in Luxembourg.
