Can you run a world-class AI system entirely on European infrastructure, without sending a single byte of data across the Atlantic? Yes. We do it every day. And you don't have to compromise on quality, speed, or capabilities to get there.
Why European hosting matters now
The geopolitical reality of AI infrastructure is changing fast. With shifting data transfer agreements, evolving GDPR enforcement, and growing concerns about digital sovereignty, European organizations can no longer afford to treat hosting location as an afterthought. Where your AI runs is as important as how it runs.
For government agencies, healthcare providers, legal firms, and financial institutions, the calculus is simple: if your data is subject to European regulations, your AI infrastructure should be too. Not because it's trendy, but because it's the only way to guarantee compliance and continuity.
The myth of quality compromise
The most common objection we hear is: 'European hosting means slower models, worse GPUs, or limited capabilities.' This was true five years ago. It isn't anymore. European cloud providers like Scaleway, OVHcloud, and Hetzner now offer competitive GPU instances. Open-source models like DeepSeek-R1 and Llama run anywhere, including your own European servers.

Our European hosting stack
We deploy AI systems on fully European infrastructure:
Compute
Hosted on Scaleway, OVHcloud, or Azure West Europe, or on-premises with your own NVIDIA hardware.
Models
Open-source LLMs (Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek) deployed locally. No API calls to OpenAI or Anthropic. Full control over model versions, updates, and data exposure.
Storage & Databases
Vector databases (Qdrant, Weaviate), relational databases (PostgreSQL), and object storage, all running in European data centers with encryption at rest and in transit.
Orchestration
Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring dashboards, all managed within European borders. No external dependencies on non-European services.
We've done this before
Beleidsradar runs entirely on European infrastructure, processing millions of government documents with zero data leaving the EU.
Our benchmarking research proves that the latest open source models perform just as well as they would on US-based infrastructure, because the models and the engineering are what matter, not the data center location.
Our approach: just tell us what you need
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Some clients need full on-premises deployment in their own data center. Others want European cloud hosting. Some need a hybrid approach, cloud for compute-intensive tasks, on-premises for the most sensitive data. We design and build whatever configuration makes sense for your specific situation.
Tell us where your data lives. We will handle the rest: from architecture design to deployment to ongoing operations. Need GDPR-compliant, sovereign infrastructure? Tell us what you need.
Need AI infrastructure that stays in Europe? Let us know what you need and we'll make it happen.
