Ayfie Enters Strategic Partnership with Telenor AI Factory – Delivering a Nordic AI Platform for Secure, Sovereign Generative AI

23 Feb 2026 08:00 CET

Ayfie has entered into a strategic partnership with Telenor AI Factory. The
partnership gives Nordic and European businesses access to a complete AI
solution where data is stored and processed on Norwegian soil, with no
third-party access, offering the highest level of data security and digital
sovereignty.

The collaboration combines Ayfie's AI platform for enterprise search and
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Telenor AI Factory's sovereign,
secure, and sustainable AI cloud platform.

Ayfie delivers AI and RAG technology that connects to the organization's
internal data sources such as document archives, business systems, email, and
file shares providing precise, source-referenced answers grounded in the
organization's own documents. Telenor AI Factory delivers Norwegian-owned and
Norwegian-operated AI infrastructure, built on NVIDIA technology and powered by
renewable energy.

Together, the solution enables generative AI on proprietary data without
information leaving Norwegian borders, having full technical and legal control
over data and models.

The solution is particularly relevant for sectors with strict requirements for
data security and regulatory compliance, including public sector and
municipalities, legal environments, healthcare, finance, banking and insurance,
and critical infrastructure and energy.

With Norway's most recognized telecom operator as infrastructure partner, the
collaboration expands Ayfie's addressable market and enables scalable delivery
to large organizations across industries.

Herman Sjøberg, CEO of Ayfie: "Many organizations want to use generative AI but
are held back by requirements around confidentiality, privacy, and digital
sovereignty. With Telenor AI Factory, we have a foundation that enables
customers to use modern AI models on their own data, on Norwegian servers."

Kaaren Hilsen, CEO of Telenor AI Factory: "Telenor AI Factory provides a secure
arena for AI. The collaboration with Ayfie strengthens our offering to
organizations that want to use AI on their own data with the highest degree of
security and control."
