NodeShift
Sovereign AI for regulated enterprises
About NodeShift
NodeShift builds sovereign AI infrastructure for organizations that cannot send sensitive data to public AI services. Its platform lets companies deploy more than 140 AI models and AI agents inside their own cloud, data center, or air-gapped environment.
The system includes governance controls, security guardrails, audit logs, policy enforcement, and integrations with enterprise tools such as Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Jira, GitHub, and Oracle databases.
The company was founded in 2023 and initially focused on decentralized cloud infrastructure before expanding into enterprise AI. After raising seed funding from investors including Notion Capital, Oxford University-backed funds, Inovo, and others, NodeShift opened its Abu Dhabi office in 2025 and secured backing from Mubadala.
In 2026, it strengthened its position in the sovereign AI market through a strategic partnership and investment from Presight’s venture fund, while also working on a proof of concept with the Central Bank of the UAE.
