01About Arkintel

Sovereign AI
for institutions that prioritize data security.

Arkintel builds production AI for governments, universities and regulated organisations across Europe and beyond. A full suite of apps plus the custom solutions composed from them — deployed on infrastructure our customers control. Software that civil servants, students and residents log in to every day.

02why we exist

Sovereign AI is the foundation
for secure, compliant operations.

Most AI today ships from a US cloud, behind a paywall, owned by someone else. We think the institutions running modern Europe — governments, universities, hospitals, regulated industries — deserve AI that belongs to them. Sovereign by design. EU-resident by default. Built to last beyond the hype.

01 · inside the perimeter

Software runs on infrastructure our customers control — their hardware, their VPC, their jurisdiction.

02 · eu law, eu jurisdiction

No transatlantic data flows. No US-cloud dependencies. Compliance by deployment, not by promise.

03 · built with you

We believe in building alongside the people who will actually use the software, not just throwing products over the wall.

03the arc

Built in The Netherlands.
Built for the long run.

Enterprise-grade AI isn't just about a successful launch. It's about lasting value.

Arkintel was founded in Delft on a single bet: that AI could be transformative for organisations operating with strict data requirements — governments, universities, regulated industries. The thesis was simple: real products, real perimeters, real constraints.

Today our software runs inside the Municipality of Delft, the City of Rotterdam and TU Delft. JustAskMomo — our TU Delft spin-out — and Schuldhulpje — our civic-finance joint venture — are used by students, residents and debt counsellors every day.

Arkintel is a YES!Delft company: the team came through the incubator to build Arkintel and learn what it takes to ship into real organisations.

05how we operate

Three commitments we keep
refusing to compromise on.

01

Quality lives in production

We measure success in users logging in on a Tuesday morning — not in pitch decks or temporary prototypes.

02

Your perimeter, your rules

AI fits inside your compliance envelope, on infrastructure you control. Sovereignty is a deployment property, not a marketing claim.

03

Built to stay

We deploy systems and keep them running. Enterprise-grade AI isn't just about a successful launch — it's about lasting value.

06around the world

Built in the Netherlands.
Used worldwide.

Headquartered in Delft and incubated at YES!Delft, Arkintel ships from the Netherlands into governments, universities and regulated organisations across Europe and beyond — on EU-resident infrastructure, never on a US provider.
