Mission & Goals
Research, architectural design, and development of Sovereign AI systems and high-assurance defense infrastructure. Specialization in air-gapped Neuro-Symbolic AI pipelines for transparent decision-making (Causal Extraction), Post-Quantum Cryptography (QKD/Lattice), and autonomous aerospace logistics. Provision of technical advisory services to EU institutions on Data Sovereignty, Algorithmic Transparency, and the resilience of critical infrastructure (ICS/SCADA) in contested environments. Focus on audit-proof, explainable AI architectures compliant with emerging EU regulatory frameworks (AI Act).
EU Legislative Interests

Communication Activities
Publication of technical whitepapers on Sovereign AI architectures and air-gapped Neuro-Symbolic pipelines (e.g., "Sovereign Causal Graph"). Provision of reference implementations for Post-Quantum Cryptography (Lattice-based encryption) and Critical Infrastructure protection (ICS/SCADA resilience). Technical advisory on "Zero-Trust" compute environments and algorithmic auditability to ensure compliance with the EU AI Act. Demonstrations of privacy-preserving, offline-first AI systems to policymakers.
