Ayfie Enters Strategic Partnership with Telenor AI Factory – Delivering a Nordic AI Platform for Secure, Sovereign Generative AI
Ayfie has entered into a strategic partnership with Telenor AI Factory. The partnership gives Nordic and European businesses access to a complete AI solution where data is stored and processed on Norwegian soil, with no third-party access, offering the highest level of data security and digital sovereignty.
The collaboration combines Ayfie's AI platform for enterprise search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Telenor AI Factory's sovereign, secure, and sustainable AI cloud platform.
Ayfie delivers AI and RAG technology that connects to the organization's internal data sources such as document archives, business systems, email, and file shares providing precise, source-referenced answers grounded in the organization's own documents. Telenor AI Factory delivers Norwegian-owned and Norwegian-operated AI infrastructure, built on NVIDIA technology and powered by renewable energy.
Together, the solution enables generative AI on proprietary data without information leaving Norwegian borders, having full technical and legal control over data and models.
The solution is particularly relevant for sectors with strict requirements for data security and regulatory compliance, including public sector and municipalities, legal environments, healthcare, finance, banking and insurance, and critical infrastructure and energy.
With Norway's most recognized telecom operator as infrastructure partner, the collaboration expands Ayfie's addressable market and enables scalable delivery to large organizations across industries.
Herman Sjøberg, CEO of Ayfie: "Many organizations want to use generative AI but are held back by requirements around confidentiality, privacy, and digital sovereignty. With Telenor AI Factory, we have a foundation that enables customers to use modern AI models on their own data, on Norwegian servers."
Kaaren Hilsen, CEO of Telenor AI Factory: "Telenor AI Factory provides a secure arena for AI. The collaboration with Ayfie strengthens our offering to organizations that want to use AI on their own data with the highest degree of security and control."
