European sovereignty

AI that keeps Europe sovereign.

Impacter is a European company building AI on European soil. Your data, your models, and your automations stay under EU jurisdiction — by design, not as an afterthought.

Why it matters

Digital sovereignty is strategy, not paperwork.

Every automation you build on non-EU infrastructure is a dependency you don't control — legally, commercially, and politically. For European businesses, where AI runs is becoming as important as what it does.

We believe Europe shouldn't have to choose between the best AI and its own rules. So we build for both.

European cloud

Run on European infrastructure.

Every Impacter workspace lives in EU data centers — hosting, database, model calls and logs. Data residency isn't a premium add-on or a checkbox buried in settings. It's the default, for everyone.

  • All data hosted and processed in EU regions, end to end
  • GDPR by design: audit trails, per-workspace isolation, cascading right-to-erasure
  • Clear data-processing agreements and a published sub-processor list
  • No silent data transfers: what happens in your workspace stays in the EU
Fine-tuning

Fine-tune models without your data leaving Europe.

Generic models get you 80% of the way. The last 20% — your tone, your policies, your domain — comes from fine-tuning on your own data. We run that entire pipeline inside EU boundaries.

  • Private fine-tunes trained and hosted on EU infrastructure
  • Your data trains your models — never anyone else's
  • Evaluation before deployment: every fine-tune is benchmarked against your real cases
  • Owned by you: take your fine-tuned weights with you if you ever leave
EU-first models

Building on — and toward — EU-first models.

Sovereignty ends where your model provider begins. That's why Impacter ships EU-native model options alongside the global flagships, and invests in EU-first models for the workloads where jurisdiction is non-negotiable.

  • EU-native models (like Mistral) available in the catalog next to global flagships
  • EU-only mode: restrict a workspace to European models and endpoints with one toggle
  • Custom EU-first builds for regulated customers in healthcare, finance and public sector
  • Best of both worlds: use frontier models where allowed, European models where required
“Your data. Your models. Your jurisdiction. European businesses shouldn't have to trade sovereignty for capability — and with Impacter, they don't.”

FAQ

GDPR, the AI Act and where your data goes.

The compliance questions European teams actually have to answer before AI reaches production — and how we answer them.

It can be, but not by default. GDPR compliance depends on where the data is processed, whether it trains third-party models, whether you have a data-processing agreement with the provider, and whether you can honour access and erasure requests. Impacter runs on EU infrastructure with DPAs, audit logs and right-to-erasure built in, so those four questions have documented answers.

With Impacter, inside the European Union. Application data sits in EU-region Postgres, workloads run on EU servers, and workspaces can be restricted to EU-native models so inference never leaves European jurisdiction. Without that restriction, many mainstream AI tools process prompts in the United States, which is exactly the exposure most European compliance teams are trying to close.

Digital sovereignty means your organisation keeps legal and practical control over its data and the systems processing it, rather than depending on infrastructure governed by another jurisdiction. For AI it matters because prompts routinely contain your most sensitive material — customer records, contracts, strategy — and where that is processed determines which government can compel access to it.

European options include Mistral's models from France and EU-hosted deployments on Vertex AI in Belgium, alongside EU-region endpoints from larger providers. Impacter lets a workspace whitelist EU-only endpoints, so teams that must keep inference in Europe can, while teams that prioritise raw capability can use frontier models under an EU data-processing agreement.

For most business automation, yes but manageably. Typical uses like drafting, triage and internal automation fall outside the high-risk categories, but the Act still expects transparency about AI involvement, human oversight of consequential decisions, and records of how systems operate. Audit logs and human-in-the-loop approvals — both standard in Impacter — are what turn that into evidence.

Not with Impacter. Customer data is never used to train third-party models, and this is contractual rather than a setting someone can forget to toggle. If you fine-tune a model on your own data, that happens on European infrastructure and the resulting model stays yours.
