AUSTRIACARD and Axelera_AI at Web Summit

AUSTRIACARD Unveils GaiaB™ AI OS at Web Summit Lisbon and  Announces Partnership with Axelera AI to Advance European  Sovereign AI 

GaiaB™ Sovereign Enterprise AI platform available as an appliance, as a service from a European  sovereign cloud or as a custom deployment; partnership with Axelera AI extends sovereignty to the  compute layer; the two companies will present together on stage at Web Summit on 10 November 

Lisbon, 10 November 2026 – AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS today unveils GaiaB™ AI Operating System  (OS) at Web Summit Lisbon. GaiaB™ AI OS is the AI operating system at the core of GaiaB™,  AUSTRIACARD’s Sovereign Enterprise AI platform, designed for enterprises and public-sector  organisations. It gives organisations control over where their AI runs and how their data, models and  agents are governed. 

GaiaB™ combines an Agentic Environment, where users build and run AI agents, workflows and  knowledge bases, with GaiaB™ AI OS, which manages models, agents and tools and provides  enterprise governance, security, policies and auditability across the AI lifecycle. The GaiaB™ platform  can be deployed in three ways: A) as a GaiaB™ Appliance, available in four configurations, with  AUSTRIACARD providing both hardware and software; B) as GaiaB™ as a Service, hosted in  AUSTRIACARD’s own European sovereign cloud; or C) as a custom deployment on the customer’s own  infrastructure, including on-premises, private and air-gapped environments. With the appliance and  custom deployments, AI workloads run on dedicated infrastructure without third-party per-token API  fees and with predictable, infrastructure-based costs. 

AUSTRIACARD also announces a strategic partnership with Axelera AI, formalised through a  Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Under the MoU, AUSTRIACARD will explore integrating its  next-generation Europa™ AI Processing Unit (AIPU) into future GaiaB™ infrastructure, including  GaiaB™ Appliances. Designed in Europe and trusted by global customers, Axelera technology delivers high-performance and energy-efficient AI inference. Europa™ would complement GaiaB™’s existing  compute options and extend its sovereignty from the software and data layers to the compute layer.  AUSTRIACARD and Axelera AI will present the partnership together on stage at Web Summit Lisbon  on 10 November. 

Together, these steps advance AUSTRIACARD’s vision for a European sovereign AI stack. Organisations  decide where their data resides, which models they use, how their AI agents operate and, increasingly,  which compute technologies run their workloads. Because GaiaB™ AI OS abstracts the underlying  hardware, organisations can adopt new models and processors without rebuilding their AI  environment around a single vendor.

Spyros Sakellariou, Group AI & Data Analytics Director, AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS, said:  

„With GaiaB™, we are introducing more than an AI appliance. We are launching a Sovereign Enterprise  AI platform that combines an Agentic Environment with GaiaB™ AI OS, giving organisations control  over their AI models, applications, agents and infrastructure. Our partnership with Axelera AI takes  this vision a step further, extending sovereignty towards the compute layer and bringing European  innovation into the GaiaB™ ecosystem. We believe the future of enterprise AI must combine  technological independence, operational control and predictable economics.“ 

Jean Vieville, Head of Business Development, Axelera AI, said:  

„AI sovereignty goes beyond data ownership and software. It also requires control over the underlying  compute infrastructure. Our partnership with AUSTRIACARD is an important step towards building a  truly European AI ecosystem, combining GaiaB™’s enterprise AI platform with Axelera’s high performance, energy-efficient inference technology. Together, we aim to make sovereign AI more  accessible, scalable and economically viable for enterprises and public-sector organisations, without  compromising performance or technological independence.“
