The new alliance strengthens the commitment to secure, scalable AI solutions with total data sovereignty
Telefónica Tech has announced a strategic agreement with tech company Zylon to offer advanced private artificial intelligence solutions aimed at highly regulated sectors. The collaboration aims to meet the growing demand for AI platforms that can be fully deployed on local infrastructures, without dependence on public cloud services and with strict guarantees of data protection and sovereignty.
The alliance positions both companies at the forefront of the enterprise AI market, especially in areas such as financial services, engineering, industrial manufacturing, and public administrations, where confidentiality and regulatory compliance are critical.
“This alliance validates the market’s shift toward private AI environments,” said Daniel Gallego Vico, co-CEO of Zylon. “When a leading company like Telefónica invests in a solution that prioritizes security, it clearly indicates how the adoption of AI is changing in the corporate environment.”
Data Sovereignty and Business Control
The approach of Zylon, now integrated into Telefónica Tech’s offering, is based on on-premise deployment: artificial intelligence runs directly within the client’s infrastructure, with data never leaving their systems. This architecture offers key benefits:
- Total data sovereignty: no transfers to external clouds or risk of international exposure.
- Secure isolation: environments disconnected from the internet and shared platforms, suitable for sensitive data.
- Granular control: through role-based access control systems and information silos that ensure internal confidentiality.
Additionally, the platform allows for smooth collaboration among users within already established corporate workflows, without requiring advanced technical knowledge. This facilitates AI adoption by non-specialized teams, maximizing its impact without compromising security.
Scalable, Open-Source Technology
Another pillar of the offering is its scalability. From small startups to large corporations, organizations can tailor and expand their use of AI according to their needs. Zylon’s open architecture avoids dreaded vendor lock-in, offering technological independence and compatibility with existing systems.
The solution also allows for the deployment of customized models tailored to the data and requirements of each organization, enhancing its value as a strategic tool rather than just an operational one.
A Key Player in the Latin American and European Market
Telefónica’s global presence, with over 380 million customers in Europe and Latin America, makes this alliance a lever for the mass adoption of private AI in markets where data regulations are particularly strict.
“More and more clients are asking us for artificial intelligence solutions that ensure regulatory compliance and total information protection,” explained representatives from Telefónica Tech. “This platform perfectly complements our capabilities in generative AI, with an approach that prioritizes privacy.”
From PrivateGPT to a Comprehensive Enterprise Platform
Zylon became known in the international tech community for its initiative PrivateGPT, a self-hosted generative AI solution with over 56,000 followers on GitHub. The company has evolved its offering into a robust enterprise platform, capable of adapting to multiple sectors and use cases.
Thanks to its expertise in machine learning algorithms and natural language processing, Zylon provides contextual responses tailored to each business, always keeping information control in the hands of the client.
Boosting Private AI in an Expanding Market
The signing of the agreement comes amid the accelerated growth of the enterprise AI market. According to industry forecasts, this market could reach $474.16 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 52.17%. On-premise AI solutions will play a key role, especially in countries with strict data localization laws and regulatory protections.
With this alliance, Telefónica Tech and Zylon not only offer a solid alternative to public cloud services, but also position themselves as leaders in the new paradigm of artificial intelligence focused on security, compliance, and digital sovereignty.
