DNB Carnegie, the Nordic leader in investment banking and capital markets formed through DNB Bank ASA's acquisition of Carnegie Holding AB, has extended its contract for ayfie Index and is expanding its AI strategy in collaboration with Ayfie. The extended agreement reinforces ayfie Index as a core component of DNB Carnegie's information infrastructure, providing secure search, retrieval and document intelligence across the organisation's data estate. As part of the expanded scope, DNB Carnegie and Ayfie will develop additional AI capabilities on top of the Index foundation, including a dedicated Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that enables DNB Carnegie's internal AI environment to securely access indexed content with full authentication and access controls at the user level.

"DNB Carnegie's continued investment in ayfie Index and the expansion into MCP-based AI integration is a strong validation of our platform's role as secure AI infrastructure for regulated industries," said Herman Sjøberg, CEO of Ayfie.

The agreement strengthens Ayfie's position within the Nordic financial services sector and supports the Company's broader strategy of delivering sovereign AI infrastructure to enterprise and public sector customers.
