ChapsVision strengthens its presence in the Nordic region with NORAD.

ChapsVision and Kalmar Group, through Danish company NORAD A/S, join forces to advance Europe’s digital sovereignty in Nordic defence and security

[Copenhagen/Paris, 18 August 2026] ChapsVision, a European leader in advanced data intelligence and agentic AI, and Kalmar Group, represented in Denmark by NORAD A/S, its Danish entity and a trusted player in the Danish defence and security market, announce a strategic partnership in the defence and security ecosystem. The partnership will begin in Denmark through NORAD A/S, before extending across Kalmar Group’s local companies in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. At a time when digital sovereignty has become a strategic imperative for European states, ChapsVision is continuing its development in Northern Europe by drawing on Kalmar Group’s expertise and local presence.

Together, the two companies share a common ambition: to strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy in defence and security by providing governments and security organisations with a sovereign, open and high-performance European alternative for data processing and analysis powered by agentic AI – helping keep critical data, AI and operational capabilities under European control.

The partnership combines ChapsVision’s expertise in trusted AI and critical data platforms with Kalmar Group’s deep knowledge of the commercial, regulatory and operational foundation essential for serving the defence and security markets in the Nordic region. Beyond technology deployment, both companies aim to help public organisations build lasting capabilities, enabling them to retain full control over their data, analytical workflows and operational applications.

Joint collaboration on data intelligence, agentic AI and European digital sovereignty for defence and security

As European governments move to secure their digital sovereignty, ChapsVision is accelerating its presence across Northern Europe through trusted local partnerships. Working alongside NORAD A/S in Denmark and Kalmar Group across the Nordic region, the company will support defence and security organisations in identifying, designing and deploying sovereign data intelligence capabilities.

Kalmar Group will contribute its local expertise and established relationships within the defence and security ecosystem while supporting business development initiatives, customer engagement and regional events dedicated to critical data and AI technologies.

At the core of this collaboration is Argonos, ChapsVision’s trusted data intelligence and agentic AI platform. Built on an open and modular architecture, Argonos enables organisations to ingest, transform and exploit heterogeneous data while maintaining full control over their data pipelines, ontologies, business applications and AI workflows.

Rather than locking organisations into proprietary ecosystems, Argonos enables customers to independently evolve their capabilities over time, reducing dependence on any single technology provider while preserving operational flexibility and long-term resilience, with organisations retaining full control over their infrastructure. ChapsVision’s Argonos solutions offer a sovereign European alternative to proprietary platforms and help reduce dependence on any single vendor.

“With Kalmar Group, we are taking a new step in our European development by combining our technological expertise with an in-depth understanding of Scandinavian operational needs. We believe that strategic autonomy is built over the long term, through capabilities that are locally controlled, interoperable and tailored to the critical missions of public sector organisations. This is the pragmatic vision of European digital sovereignty we aim to advance with Kalmar Group.” Silvano Sansoni, Group General Manager of ChapsVision

This partnership reflects ChapsVision’s broader European strategy: combining sovereign European technology with trusted local partners to help organisations build lasting capabilities. Beyond deploying technology, ChapsVision and Kalmar Group aim to develop local expertise so that customers can independently operate, evolve and maintain their data platforms over the long term.

“Nordic public organisations are looking for high-performance solutions that meet their operational requirements while ensuring genuine technological autonomy. By combining our knowledge of the market with ChapsVision’s expertise, we aim to support this evolution with a European offering that meets the highest standards of security, sovereignty and European control.” Lars Gleerup, Group CEO, Kalmar Group
