Swedish AI company Berget AI has raised €2.1 million (SEK 24 million) in funding. This investment comes at a time when AI is rapidly becoming critical infrastructure, while increasing regulatory requirements, geopolitical tensions, and the EU’s new AI legislation are driving demand for local control of data and AI workflows.
Berget AI was founded by Christian Landgren, a well-known digital entrepreneur and activist, and Andreas Lundmark, who brings extensive AI experience from Boston Consulting Group.
The company develops services that enable organizations to build AI applications using open language models that operate on Sweden’s sovereign infrastructure, ensuring that sensitive data does not leave national borders and remains under European jurisdiction.
The company positions itself for developers who want to get started quickly without managing infrastructure, offering a modern alternative to both US hyperscalers and complex on-premises solutions.
Berget AI provides a turnkey, full-stack AI platform that enables organizations to combine ease of use with data sovereignty, open technology, and sustainable operations.
According to Andreas Lundmark, co-founder of Berget AI, more and more organizations don’t want to put sensitive data on global cloud platforms.
“We provide an accessible alternative that gives customers complete control without having to build and operate their own infrastructure.”
The company’s first services launched just before summer 2025 and attracted strong interest from customers who prioritize sovereignty and data control.
“We find that our products address a very real market need and that this topic is high on the agenda both in Sweden and Europe.
Although we have not been actively engaged in sales activities to date, now is the time to accelerate sales in order to capture strong demand. We are currently developing several new services. ”
EU AI legislation and stricter requirements for transparency, traceability and data governance are changing the conditions for how AI is built and deployed in Europe. Public sector organizations and regulated industries are increasingly seeking solutions that keep their data and models within EU jurisdiction.
“Sovereignty is moving from a policy discussion to a concrete, practical requirement for development teams. Our platform has been built for this reality of local operations, open models, and technology control from day one,” said Christian Landgren, co-founder of Berget AI.
The funding round was led by Luminar Ventures along with Wellstreet and Norrsken Evolve.
“Berget AI addresses a structural problem in the European AI ecosystem: the lack of a sovereign and scalable infrastructure. The team combines strong technical expertise with perfect timing,” said Jacob Key, General Partner at Luminar Ventures.
“An open and sustainable AI infrastructure is critical to Europe’s long-term resilience,” said Rebecca Löthman Rydå, General Partner at Norrsken Evolve.
The newly raised funds will be used primarily to accelerate product development and expand sales operations.
