2021.AI builds the GRACE platform for enterprise AI operations, combining GenAI, MLOps, and Governance modules. The Governance module includes an AI registry, risk assessment workflows, role-based access, and reporting aligned with the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001. Founded in Copenhagen in 2016, 2021.AI serves customers across finance, healthcare, public sector, shipping, legal, and retail.

Cranium provides an enterprise AI security and governance platform that automatically detects AI systems in internal and third-party environments, generates AI Bills of Materials for transparency, simulates adversarial attacks via agent-based red teaming in its Arena module, and applies automated remediations through Cranium Shield. The platform translates governance frameworks into compliance attestations, scores, and transparency reports, while enabling secure Trust Hubs for sharing standards across teams and partners. It addresses shadow AI through scanning tools like CodeSensor, Detect AI, and CloudSensor. Targeted at enterprises in regulated sectors such as financial services, the solution ensures security, compliance, and performance across the AI lifecycle without disrupting development workflows. Cranium emphasizes AI compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF, alongside third-party risk management.Cranium Platform
