Telenor AI Factory welcomes new customer
Telenor AI Factory is excited to announce Sikri, one of Norway’s leading providers of digital governance systems to the public sector in Norway and the Nordic region, as a new customer.
Since its launch in November 2024, Telenor AI Factory has already welcomed three customers - Hive Autonomy, Capgemini, and Telenor Norway. Building on this momentum, the AI Factory is now taking the next step in offering cutting-edge AI computing capabilities to businesses looking for secure and sovereign AI solutions.
"It’s hard to believe that less than a year has passed since we started this journey and three months since we launched Telenor AI Factory,” said Kaaren Hilsen, Head of AI Factory, Telenor. “We've learned so much as we’ve built Norway’s first sovereign, secure, and sustainable AI platform. Our mission is to accelerate our customers' AI ambitions, and every new partnership, like Sikri, brings us one step closer to that goal. It’s an exciting milestone having Sikri join us as our fourth customer. We’re proud to be enabling businesses across the Nordics to harness the full potential of AI with the trust and security they need to succeed."
The signing of Sikri as the fourth customer underscores Telenor’s ambitions to create new opportunities and provide customer solutions across industries. The AI Factory enables businesses to harness Telenor’s robust infrastructure alongside NVIDIA’s AI software and support to create and integrate their own AI. With the AI Factory’s resources, companies like Sikri can train AI models on real-world data including sensitive information, while maintaining full security and control over their data. This allows businesses to develop solutions that optimise operations, reduce costs, and enhance safety through data-driven, AI-powered innovations.
"We are excited to start using Telenor’s AI Factory,” said Fredrik Buchardt Werpen, Business Developer AI, Sikri. “This opens up greater opportunities to train our AI models on real-world data, including sensitive information. With Norwegian ownership and full control within Norway, this provides our customers and us with the necessary security."
The AI Factory is a collaborative platform, combining Telenor’s infrastructure and expertise with partner companies to accelerate the adoption of AI across industries. As Telenor expands this initiative, the AI Factory will continue to onboard customers seeking to harness the transformative power of artificial intelligence.
