metaphacts, a leading provider of AI and knowledge graph technology, and d-fine, a European consulting firm with deep roots in data-driven transformation, have entered a strategic partnership. Together, the companies will empower organizations to harness the full potential of AI and analytics by providing explainable, auditable and context-rich insights built on a flexible semantic layer.

This partnership unites metaphacts’ cutting-edge platform for building knowledge graph-driven AI applications with d-fine’s expertise in complex data environments and regulatory requirements. The joint offering enables companies across various industries to integrate siloed data, support risk management and compliance initiatives and deploy AI responsibly—while ensuring transparency and trust remain at the core of every solution.

Building regulatory-ready architectures for AI under the EU AI Act

With the EU AI Act classifying AI systems by risk and placing accountability on both developers and professional users, organizations face increased pressure to ensure data governance, model transparency and auditability.

The partners support companies across various industries in navigating the regulatory complexities of the EU AI Act. The joint offering combines a robust technology platform with deep domain expertise. Having a semantics-driven Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA) as its core component, the offering addresses the need of organizations for transparent, trustworthy and compliant AI applications that allow for traceability, bias mitigation, explainability and regulatory alignment across AI lifecycles. By combining technical architecture with regulatory foresight, metaphacts and d-fine help institutions implement AI that is not only powerful but also legally and ethically sound.

"Our clients across various industries are looking for robust strategies to leverage data and AI in a transparent and sustainable way, as well as meeting emerging regulations without sacrificing innovation," said Robert Goerke, Partner at d-fine. "In our projects, together with metaphacts, we enable our clients to design semantic, compliance-ready data architectures that foster agility, ensure reliability and that help them to reach business decisions with explainable AI at scale."

"This partnership combines technical excellence with domain fluency to help institutions lead in a regulated AI landscape," said metaphacts Founder Peter Haase. "With d-fine, we empower customers to adopt explainable AI with full confidence in its governance, traceability and long-term sustainability. Our joint solution will enable organizations to make better decisions, reduce risk and drive innovation—without compromising on clarity or control."
