Advania to Launch Multi-Tenant Sovereign AI Cloud in Every Market
Advania, a portfolio company of Goldman Sachs Alternatives, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved plans to give organisations in every market access to multi-tenant sovereign AI clouds across its seven operational countries. Building on proven setups in Sweden and Iceland, the Board’s decision marks the expansion of this model to all remaining markets. The initiative will deliver a key competitive advantage for Advania’s customers by enabling companies and public sector organisations to securely utilise their critical and sensitive data, ensuring compliance with national regulations while turning that data into a true competitive advantage.
A Strategic Alternative to Off-the-Shelf AI Tools
The market is rapidly adopting off the shelf AI tools that deliver selective productivity gains, automate routine tasks and streamline communication. Advania has taken a more strategic approach, offering a complete and accessible AI portfolio that goes beyond generic tools to deliver real competitive advantage for customers. Organisations can confidently harness their own data in their own AI processes, driving real business results from growth to efficiency.
Advania’s teams have a solid track record in AI, from entrepreneurship to delivering transformation for leading organisations in finance, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, government and other verticals. With this experience, Advania helps organisations turn AI ideas into practical results with clear ROI. By establishing a sovereign AI cloud in each market, Advania enables clients to create greater value with AI while keeping their sensitive data under control and secured at home.
Setting a New Standard for Sovereign AI
"This is a key strategic step for Advania," said Hege Støre, CEO of Advania. "We are setting a new standard for sovereign AI in Europe, ensuring that organisations adopt AI on their own terms, with their data secured at home. The demand is here now, and organisations need sovereign and scalable solutions today to gain the cost efficiencies and growth opportunities that turn AI into a true competitive advantage."
"The decision to expand sovereign AI cloud capabilities across all markets underscores Advania’s differentiated ability to help European organisations realise the full value of AI," said Michael Bruun, Board member of Advania and Global Co-Head of Private Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. "With the combination of local presence, proven infrastructure and advisory expertise, Advania is uniquely positioned to help organisations realise the benefits of AI in a secure and cost efficient way. We are proud to support Advania on this journey."
Building on Recent Acquisitions
To execute on this strategy, Advania draws on the recent acquisition of Gompute, a specialized HPC and AI infrastructure platform that already operates sovereign AI cloud infrastructure in Sweden and Iceland, providing a solid foundation to rapidly scale this capability across all Advania markets. As demand for sovereign AI services increases, these operations in Sweden and Iceland will continue to grow and strengthen. Complementing this, the addition of The AI Framework, an award winning AI advisory company, completes Advania’s positioning across the full AI spectrum, from infrastructure to advisory, from strategy to execution.
Together, these moves ensure Advania can deliver sovereign AI services at scale, giving organisations across Europe the ability to innovate with confidence and full control over their data.
