The industries that keep society running — energy, healthcare, manufacturing — are also the ones where AI errors carry the greatest human cost. Iris.ai gives these industries AI they can trust: agents that reason on verified expert knowledge, with every output traceable and governed. This means safer decisions at scale, in the places that matter most.
Vision & ImpactA world where the world’s Deep Knowledge - including scientific - and its implications are available at the fingertips of anyone with an important problem to solve. To unlock expert knowledge inside every enterprise — making it accessible, trusted, and ready to power the best AI & human decisions.
CollaborationThe people we have come in contact with throughout the EIC have all been friendly, helpful, and with an exciting vision for the future of Europe, which we share. We do believe the EIC is laying the foundation for building future sovereign, trusted tech giants - like us.
What's next ?Over the next two years, we will be scaling into new industries and geographies, automating more of the expert knowledge work that currently depends on scarce human specialists — making high-stakes AI faster, safer, and accessible to organisations that need it most.

The support from EIC became a pivotal moment for the company and the founders. Not only did the grant give us the needed runway to reach a scalable commercialization phase, but gave us a major boost and renewed faith in the importance of what we were doing. It could not have come at a better time. Then, of course, the co-investment from the EIC was a solid factor in convincing our lead investor to invest in the following round. We would not be where we are today, if it was not for the support from EIC.
