Berget AI’s long-term ambition is to make local and sovereign AI the default choice for European developers.
Swedish AI company Berget AI has raised €2.1 million (SEK 24 million) in funding. The 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 growing 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 is developing a service that enables organisations to build AI applications using open language models operated on sovereign infrastructure in Sweden, ensuring that sensitive data does not leave national borders and remains under European jurisdiction.
The company positions itself toward developers who want to get started quickly without managing infrastructure, offering a modern alternative to both US hyperscalers and complex on-premise solutions.
By delivering a turnkey full-stack AI platform, Berget AI enables organisations 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 organisations do not want to place sensitive data in global cloud platforms.
“We offer an accessible alternative that provides full control without requiring customers to build and operate their own infrastructure.”
The company’s first service was launched shortly before summer 2025 and has attracted strong interest from customers who prioritise sovereignty and data control.
“We have seen that our offering addresses a very real market need and that this topic is high on the agenda in both Sweden and Europe.
We have not actively pursued sales so far, but now is the time to accelerate in order to capture the strong demand we are experiencing. Several new services are currently under development.”
With the EU AI Act and stricter requirements for transparency, traceability, and data governance, the conditions for how AI is built and deployed in Europe are changing. Public sector organisations and regulated industries are increasingly demanding solutions that keep data and models within EU jurisdiction.
“Sovereignty is moving from being a policy discussion to becoming a concrete and practical requirement for development teams. Our platform is built for this reality: local operations, open models, and technical control from day one,” says Christian Landgren, Co-founder of Berget AI.
The funding round was led by Luminar Ventures together with Wellstreet and Norrsken Evolve.
“Berget AI addresses a structural problem in Europe’s AI ecosystem: the lack of sovereign and scalable infrastructure. The team combines strong technical expertise with perfect timing,” says Jacob Key, General Partner at Luminar Ventures.
“Open and sustainable AI infrastructure is crucial for Europe’s long-term resilience,” says Rebecca Löthman Rydå, General Partner at Norrsken Evolve.
The newly raised capital will primarily be used to accelerate product development and scale sales operations.
