8peaks (Belgium)- Sovereign AI Infrastructure& Cyber Security -Zero-Trust Governance

We are 8peaks, an Antwerp-based DeepTech scale-up specializing in Sovereign AI Infrastructure and Zero-Trust Agentic Orchestration. We are actively seeking to join consortia as a Technology Provider (SME) for the HORIZON-CL4-2026-05-DIGITAL-EMERGING-03 call.

Our core technology, the KennisAI Platform, provides the secure infrastructure layer necessary for deploying advanced, trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in high-risk environments.

How we contribute to DIGITAL-EMERGING-03:

• Edge AI Execution: We specialize in deploying highly optimized open-weights LLMs locally at the edge. We eliminate the need for public cloud computing, reducing latency and ensuring strict data sovereignty.

• Trustworthy AI & EU AI Act Compliance: Our platform is built for "Glass-Box" explainability. We provide immutable Article 12 audit logging and human-in-the-loop workflows, ensuring the consortium’s AI solutions natively comply with European regulations.

• Zero-Trust Cybersecurity : We bridge the gap between AI innovation and strict IT governance. .

• Low-Code Orchestration: We provide a visual "Flow" canvas that empowers non-technical domain experts to co-create, audit, and manage complex AI workflows.

What we offer to Consortia: Beyond just technology provision, we bring strong expertise in Work Package (WP) Leadership for AI Infrastructure, Solution Architecture, and Project Management.

Looking For: We are looking to partner with Consortium Coordinators, Research Institutes, and Use-Case Providers (particularly in public safety, manufacturing, healthcare, or smart cities) who need a robust, European-sovereign AI engine to deploy and validate their research within this Cluster 4 call.
