8peaks

We are 8peaks, an Antwerp-based DeepTech scale-up specializing in Sovereign AI Infrastructure and Zero-Trust Agentic Orchestration. Our flagship product, the KennisAI Platform, bridges the gap between cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence and strict enterprise-grade Cybersecurity. We enable organizations to build, deploy, and audit Next-Gen AI Agents entirely on-premise or at the edge, ensuring highly sensitive data never leaves the secure perimeter.

Our Value Proposition for the Digital Europe Programme (DEP) We seek to join DEP consortia as a specialized Technology Provider (SME) to support projects in public safety, critical infrastructure, healthcare, and manufacturing. By utilizing open-weights LLMs (such as Llama 3, Mistral, EuroLLM) within a secure, "Sovereign Sandbox," we guarantee absolute data sovereignty and native compliance with GDPR and the EU AI Act (including Article 12 explainability and logging).

Alignment with DEP Key Areas of Activity:

• AI / Cloud-to-Edge & AI Factories: We move AI execution away from black-box public clouds. We deploy highly efficient, locally hosted AI Agents at the edge, reducing compute waste and protecting localized datasets.

• Cybersecurity & Deployment of Public Services: Our proprietary Zero Trust MCP (Model Context Protocol) Gateway acts as an ironclad security layer. It governs exactly how AI interacts with enterprise databases or public service APIs, preventing unauthorized actions and ensuring safe deployments in critical sectors.

• Data Space for Manufacturing (Process Mining): Our Agentic Process Mining module securely ingests raw ERP/SAP event logs completely on-premise. KennisAI analyzes this data to map inefficiencies and autonomously drafts low-code workflows to optimize supply chains and manufacturing operations.

• Advanced Digital Skills & Apply AI Strategy: We democratize AI adoption. Through our KennisAI Flow builder—a visual low-code/no-code canvas—we empower non-technical domain experts (researchers, operators, and public servants) to co-create, audit, and manage complex AI workflows without needing advanced programming backgrounds.

What We Are Looking For: We are eager to partner with consortium leads, public sector entities, European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs), and use-case providers (e.g., in manufacturing or public safety) who need a trusted, European-sovereign AI engine to power their proposals and execute secure digital transformations.
