Sayari and DataExpert Join Forces for Economic Security in Europe

On August 28, 2026, a significant announcement surfaced from the collaborative efforts of Sayari, a trusted platform specializing in artificial intelligence for economic security, and DataExpert, a provider of specialized solutions to combat cybercrime and fraud within governmental entities across Europe. This partnership aims to enhance the reach of Sayari’s AI platform to various government sectors, including law enforcement and financial intelligence agencies across eight countries: Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.

European governments are increasingly focusing on establishing new institutional infrastructures to tackle financial crimes. Initiatives such as newly created sanctions authorities and an upcoming EU body aimed at combating money laundering are emerging at a rapid pace not seen in decades. Each of these entities requires sophisticated analytical tools to monitor ownership, trade, and money flows across borders. According to EU legislation on artificial intelligence, they also need reliable AI that adheres to established regulatory safeguards.

Sayari is already engaged in extensive operations within Europe, providing intelligence services that support some of the largest financial institutions and multinational corporations as well as governmental bodies. This new partnership further expands their influence into government markets across the region. DataExpert’s consultants and analysts, coupled with their training academy and deep-rooted connections in European OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and investigative communities, offer specialized implementation, tailored workflows, and localized support directly within each country.

Gino Flem, CEO of DataExpert for the Benelux region, remarked, "European authorities are tasked with addressing cross-border financial crime, sanction circumvention, and the proliferation of dual-use goods at a pace that their current tools were never designed to handle." The combination of Sayari's intelligence, derived from primary sources, with DataExpert's investigative expertise ensures that authorities gain immediate capabilities that can be deployed and protected in pursuit of justice.

Farley Mesko, CEO of Sayari, emphasized, "Economic security has become a guiding principle of European state governance, with rapid advancements seen in law enforcement, new strategies against financial crime, and substantial investments in sovereign AI. Our investments are directed here because this is where the future of economic security is being forged. These governments have set the bar to accept only AI systems they can control, audit, and substantiate in court. Our system is designed to meet that standard. Institutions safeguarding open economies deserve the same oversight of global trade that we already provide to the largest banks and corporations in the region. Through DataExpert, they will have that available with specialized support on-site."

Sayari's sovereign AI is designed to operate within the unique environments of regulated institutions, whether in their cloud, a private enclave, or a classified cloud space. These models are proprietary to Sayari, developed from over 12 years of practical analytical experience while never utilizing client data, offering predictable pricing structures rather than token-based billing. Every output is verified and rated, retaining human judgment at the final decision-making stage. The foundation of this commercial model encompasses over 12 billion records from primary sources across more than 250 jurisdictions, formed into foundational insights about global trade.

Through DataExpert, local institutions can deploy this technology on missions prioritized by their governments, including efforts to:

• - Identify complex illegal financial networks across borders to support financial intelligence units and law enforcement investigations.
• - Enforce export controls and trade compliance related to dual-use goods, including sanction circumvention through third countries and opaque shadow fleet ownership networks.
• - Map networks circumventing sanctions hidden behind multi-layered corporate structures.
• - Verify the final beneficiaries and integrity of registries.
• - Assess risks in defense and national security supply chains stemming from foreign ownership, control, or influence, down to critical mineral resources dependencies.
• - Secure investments as new EU regulations on foreign direct investment (FDI) lead to modernization of national review mechanisms in the region.

To learn more, Sayari and DataExpert will host a joint webinar on September 1, from 10:00 to 11:00 AM CEST, titled "Following the Paper Trail: Uncovering Chinese Organizations Laundering Money from the Golden Triangle to Europe with Sayari." Participants will witness how investigators utilize company ownership data and commercial records to trace illicitly obtained funds across borders and uncover secret networks behind them.
