Sovereign AI Infrastructure & Zero Trust Agentic Platform

CEO at 8peaks

Antwerp, Belgium

About

8peaks is an Antwerp-based deep-tech SME offering Sovereign AI Infrastructure for Horizon Europe consortia requiring strict data privacy (GDPR) and EU AI Act compliance.

Our Mission: To democratize "Sovereign Intelligence," ensuring European projects in Critical Infrastructure, Healthcare, and Defense can harness Generative AI without exposing sensitive IP or citizen data to public clouds (e.g., OpenAI/Azure).

What We Bring to Your Consortium: We act as the Technical Infrastructure & Security Partner, providing the "Engine" that runs your project's AI models locally and securely.

1. The KennisAI Platform (On-Premise Execution):

  • No Data Egress: We deploy open-weights models (Llama 3, Mistral, EuroLLM) entirely within the project's secure perimeter.

  • Edge Capabilities: AI agents run offline on edge devices (e.g., at Ports, Hospitals, or Utility Grids).

2. Zero Trust Security & Governance:

  • Identity-Aware MCP Gateway: A proprietary security layer for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). We intercept and govern all AI tool connections (e.g., stopping an agent from executing dangerous SQL commands).

  • Automated Redaction: Real-time PII stripping and "Sovereignty Filters" to prevent accidental data leaks.

3. Agentic AutoML ("The Trinity"):

  • A 3-Agent system (Architect, Strategist, Engineer) that autonomously cleans data and trains explainable ML models (SHAP/XGBoost) in a secure sandbox, accelerating project results.
