Shaping the Future of
Sovereign AI - Together

Regulatory pressure is intensifying. Governance gaps are widening. The right platform and partner ecosystem can close them — without compromising on sovereignty or control.

2021.AI Partners

The ecosystem that makes
enterprise AI governable

AI adoption in regulated industries doesn't fail because of technology — it fails because of governance. Compliance constraints, data sovereignty requirements, and EU AI Act uncertainty block initiatives before they start. The 2021.AI partner ecosystem changes that: combining the GRACE AI Platform with the infrastructure, expertise, and capabilities our partners bring to deliver trusted AI where it's needed most.Each layer in GRACE AI Security addresses a distinct stage of the AI lifecycle. Every layer feeds the same living inventory automatically registering each use case, model, system and dataset the moment it appears.

Access a high-value market

Finance, healthcare, public sector, energy — regulated industries are where demand for governed AI is growing fastest. GRACE is purpose-built for them.

Unlock stalled AI initiatives

GRACE removes the compliance blockers that stop enterprises from moving forward — giving partners a platform to close engagements that would otherwise stall.

Build a reputation for responsible AI

Clients in regulated industries want AI they can defend. GRACE gives your organisation the credibility to deliver both performance and accountability.

Bring AI to the data

Hosting and sovereing cloud providers

Your customers trust you with their most sensitive data. With 2021.AI's MSP-enabled GRACE platform, you can extend that trusted environment to include a full enterprise AI stack — without data leaving your infrastructure.

GRACE is purpose-built to run within your environment — no data transits to external model providers or third-party AI services. A cloud-equivalent AI experience, on your terms.

THE RESULT:

Advanced AI capabilities for your customers
A stronger position as their long-term technology partner
Data sovereignty intact, as it should be

Turn AI ambition into delivered value

Consuliting & advisory partners

AI initiatives stall when compliance concerns block progress. GRACE removes that friction, unlocking initiatives in regulated industries that would otherwise never get off the ground.

Built-in audit trails, risk controls, behavioural monitoring, and sovereign model hosting give you and your clients the confidence to move forward — in any regulated sector.

THE RESULT:

More engagements close
Clients achieve measurable AI outcomes
Your firm becomes known for responsible AI at scale
Close the loop on AI governance

Integration partners

Your solutions already help clients manage risk and secure their environments. Connected to GRACE, the value of both is amplified. What your solution detects, GRACE governs. What GRACE governs, your solution reports.

When your solution and GRACE work together, the loop closes — giving clients connected AI governance that spans detection, policy enforcement, and audit-ready reporting in one continuous flow.

THE RESULT:

AI governance that spans the client's entire landscape
Your solution becomes more powerful within the GRACE stack
A joint capability greater than either delivers alone

A shared opportunity

A stronger eco-system.
A disproportionate advantage.

The enterprises that lead in AI won't be those who adopt it fastest — but those who adopt it most confidently. Delivering that confidence, at scale, is where partnerships create disproportionate value.
Governed from the ground up
Transparency, auditability, and risk controls are structural in GRACE — not added at deployment.
Sovereign by design
Data never leaves the client's environment. GRACE runs within partner infrastructure — privacy and sovereignty built in, not bolted on.
Joint go-to market
Joint sales motions, co-branded positioning, shared pipeline. We grow with you — not just alongside you.
Compliance-ready
EU AI Act risk classification, GDPR data controls, audit trails: the requirements that block regulated-sector AI, solved at platform level.
Enterprise-grade AI infrastructure
Model hosting, access controls, monitoring, and auto-registration: the full AI stack, delivered as a platform clients can rely on at scale.
Greater than the sum of its parts
2021.AI brings the platform. Partners bring infrastructure, expertise, and relationships. Together: something no single organisation can offer.

Common questions about partnering

directly to the partnerships team.

What types of organisations are eligible for the partner program?

The ecosystem is open to three categories: hosting and sovereign cloud providers who want to offer a governed AI stack within their infrastructure; consulting and advisory firms supporting enterprise AI transformation, compliance, or EU AI Act readiness; and integration partners whose solutions complement GRACE in risk management, security, or compliance. If your organisation operates at the intersection of AI and regulated enterprise, we'd like to hear from you.

What does the GRACE AI Platform include?

GRACE comprises four modules: GRACE GenAI (governed AI deployment), GRACE AI Security (shadow AI detection and behavioural monitoring), GRACE Governance (EU AI Act compliance and risk classification), and GRACE Developer (secure AI development). All modules are built for on-premises and sovereign cloud deployment — no data leaves your environment.

How does GRACE support EU AI Act and GDPR compliance?

GRACE's AI Auto Registry automatically inventories and classifies AI systems against EU AI Act risk categories, while built-in audit trails satisfy GDPR accountability requirements. Sovereign deployment ensures data residency obligations are met by default — removing the compliance blockers that prevent regulated-sector clients from moving forward.

Can GRACE run within our existing sovereign cloud infrastructure?

Yes — sovereign deployment is a core design principle. GRACE is purpose-built for MSP-enabled deployment within partner-managed environments, with no requirement for customer data to transit to external model providers or third-party AI services.

What does joint go-to-market support look like?

Partnership includes co-branded positioning, joint sales motion support, shared pipeline development, and technical enablement for your team. The specifics depend on partner category and depth of engagement — the initial conversation is the right place to align on this.
