The partnership extends Sayari's platform to government, law enforcement, defence, and financial intelligence agencies in eight countries: Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Governments across Europe are building new institutional infrastructure to fight financial crime. New sanctions bodies, a new EU anti-money laundering authority, and new national strategies are emerging at a pace not seen in decades. Each needs analytics that can trace ownership, trade, and money across borders. And under the EU AI Act, they need trustworthy AI with the right safeguards in place. Sayari already does significant work in Europe, where its intelligence supports many of the largest financial institutions and multinational corporations, as well as government entities. This partnership further extends that footprint into the region's government market. DataExpert's embedded consultants and analysts, training academy, and deep roots in the European open source intelligence (OSINT) and investigative community give agencies specialist implementation, customized workflows, and in-country support from day one. "European agencies are being asked to confront cross-border financial crime, sanctions evasion, and dual-use proliferation at a pace their current tooling was never designed for," said Gino Flem, Managing Director Benelux, DataExpert. "Combining Sayari's primary-source intelligence with our investigative expertise and in-country support means agencies get capability they can deploy, defend, and build on immediately." "Economic security has become the organizing principle of European statecraft, the countries in this region saw it first and are moving fastest, with new enforcement institutions, new financial-crime strategies, and serious investments in sovereign AI," said Farley Mesko, CEO of Sayari. "We're investing here because this is where the future of economic security is being written, and because these governments have set the right bar: they will only adopt AI they can control, audit, and defend in court. That's the standard we built for. The institutions defending open economies deserve the same visibility into global commerce that we already provide the region's largest banks and enterprises. With DataExpert, they'll have it with specialist support on the ground." Sovereign AI, built for regulators and the regulated Sayari's sovereign AI can run in an agency's own environment - its cloud, a private enclave, or classified cloud. The models are Sayari's own, trained on 12 years of analyst tradecraft, never on client data, with predictable infrastructure pricing rather than a per-token meter. Every output is sourced and graded, and the ultimate decision stays with a human. The foundation is Sayari's Commercial World Model: more than 12 billion primary-source records from more than 250 jurisdictions, resolved into the ground truth of global commerce. Through DataExpert, agencies in the region can apply this technology to the missions their governments have prioritized including: * Tracing complex illicit financial networks across borders, in support of financial intelligence units and law-enforcement investigations * Export-control and trade enforcement for dual-use goods, including third-country diversion and shadow-fleet ownership networks * Mapping sanctions evasion networks behind layered corporate structures * Beneficial ownership verification and registry integrity * Defense and national security supply chain risk from foreign ownership, control, or influence to critical-mineral dependencies * Investment security, as the new EU foreign direct investment (FDI) Screening Regulation drives upgrades to every national screening regime in the region DataExpert and Sayari will host a joint webinar on September 1 from 10 - 11 a.m. CET: "Following the Paper Trails: Tracing Chinese Money Laundering Organizations from the Golden Triangle to Europe using Sayari." Attendees will see how investigators use corporate ownership data and trade records to trace illicit money across borders and expose the networks behind it.
