We’ve done this before. Stav is built by the team behind Jottacloud — eighteen years keeping European data out of foreign hands. Now we’re building the same conviction for AI: one sovereign gateway to every model, supplied from Europe, under European law.
Jottacloud has kept millions of Europeans’ data on European soil for nearly two decades — and merged in a deal valued at NOK 1.5 billion. We learned the hard things the slow way: how to win regulated customers, run sovereign infrastructure at scale, and why “trust us” is never enough.

Sovereignty isn’t only a legal posture. Norway is, almost uniquely, the right physical place to produce intelligence for Europe.
~98% of Norwegian power is renewable hydro. AI’s real constraint is energy — and ours is clean, abundant and cheap.
A naturally cold climate means lower cooling cost and overhead — the structural efficiency a utility lives or dies on.
A stable European democracy inside the EEA — GDPR-aligned, outside the CLOUD Act, with rule of law you can plan a decade around.
“We built Jottacloud on one conviction: Europeans shouldn’t have to hand their data to American infrastructure to use great technology. Stav is that conviction, applied to the next layer of the stack.”
Why we’re building this now — and why the supplier question decides the decade.
The unit of value is the token — metered, fungible, bought. That makes inference an economic input, not a feature. Inputs get optimised, and they get sourced.
Value moves up the stack from any single model to how requests are classified, routed and governed across many. The layer that decides where each token is produced is the one that matters.
When your reasoning runs through someone else’s pipes, their law governs it. The CLOUD Act makes “US-hosted” a legal fact. Sovereignty becomes the supplier question — and Europe needs its own answer.
Build on a sovereign supply from a team that has done it before — or help us build it.
