Mimirio

Sovereign Enterprise AI & Verified Knowledge Infrastructure

European enterprises hold invaluable institutional knowledge, but public cloud AI puts data sovereignty at risk while missing deep context. At Mimirio, we engineer private, verifiable AI infrastructure that connects enterprise systems to auditable RAG and productive workflow automation — strictly self-hosted and GDPR-compliant.
