Sayari and DataExpert: A Revolutionary Partnership for Economic Security
In a groundbreaking move, Sayari, a prominent AI platform focusing on economic security and commercial risks, has recently announced a strategic partnership with DataExpert. This collaboration aims to enhance the capabilities of European governments by providing sovereign AI tools specifically designed for combating economic crime.
Expanding Reach in the Government Sector
This partnership marks a significant expansion of Sayari's footprint in the European governmental landscape, where it has already been supporting major financial institutions and multinational corporations. DataExpert brings its specialized expertise in cybersecurity, fraud prevention, and digital investigation to the table, further enriching the value provided by Sayari's platform. By integrating DataExpert's local knowledge, implementation services, and training, this partnership ensures that government agencies in eight European countries—including Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden—receive tailored support and guidance right from the start.
Meeting New Challenges in Economic Security
European governments are in the process of building new institutional frameworks to tackle financial crime at an unprecedented pace. Recent years have seen the establishment of new sanction authorities and anti-money laundering bodies within the EU, along with national strategies designed to address these urgent challenges. Each agency requires analytic tools capable of monitoring ownership, trade, and money flow across borders. Additionally, the new EU regulations on AI necessitate trustworthy solutions that come with appropriate security assurances.
As Farley Mesko, the CEO of Sayari, points out, economic security has become a cornerstone of state policy in Europe. This growing focus necessitates highly effective means of scrutinizing financial transactions while complying with regulatory standards. The collaboration with DataExpert not only broadens Sayari’s reach but also bolsters the analytical resources available to these governmental bodies.
Unique Offerings of Sovereign AI
The sovereign AI developed by Sayari operates within the agency's own infrastructure—whether in the agency’s cloud, a private isolated environment, or a secure cloud system. These proprietary models, honed over 12 years of analytical practice, ensure that client data remains confidential while offering a predictable infrastructure cost model rather than charging based on individual tokens. Each output is accompanied by a source referencing reliability, leaving ultimate decision-making in the hands of agency analysts.
The foundations of Sayari's AI lie in its Commercial World Model, which integrates data from over 12 billion records sourced from more than 250 jurisdictions. This results in a highly accurate representation of global trade dynamics.
Addressing Key Priorities
With the partnership, agencies in the region will have access to powerful AI solutions that can address critical tasks as outlined by their governments. These include:
- - Cross-border monitoring of complex illicit financial networks to support financial intelligence units and law enforcement agencies.
- - Export controls and enforcement of dual-use item regulations, including diversion to third countries and shadow fleet ownership networks.
- - Mapping networks circumventing sanctions masked by layered corporate structures.
- - Verifying actual owners and the integrity of registries.
- - Identifying risks in defense supply chains and national security regarding foreign ownership and critical mineral dependencies.
- - Strengthening investment security in response to new EU regulations on foreign investment screenings.
Upcoming Webinar
To further elaborate on these issues, Sayari and DataExpert will co-host a webinar on September 1st from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST. The session titled “Tracing Paper Trails: Monitoring Chinese Organizations Involved in Money Laundering from the Golden Triangle to Europe Using Sayari” will showcase how investigators utilize company ownership data and trade records to trace illicit funds across borders and unveil the networks behind them.
