Scaleout Systems AB: Federated Learning for Europe’s Data-Sovereign AI Edge

Scaleout Systems AB is a Swedish deep-tech venture at the cutting edge of federated machine learning, a field that allows AI models to be trained collaboratively without pooling sensitive data. Founded in 2017 as a spin-off from Uppsala University’s Department of Information Technology, the company has quickly gained attention for enabling “train-local, share-global” AI solutions.

Its platform empowers organizations to deploy and update AI models directly at the edge – from front-line military units to connected vehicles – while keeping raw data within sovereign boundaries.
