MADRID, July 16, 2026. Multiverse Computing and EY have signed a strategic collaboration agreement to develop artificial intelligence models tailored to the specific needs of four industry verticals: financial services, public sector, TMT (technology, media, and telecom), and energy. The alliance combines Multiverse Computing's optimized models and AI solutions with EY's sector presence and transformation expertise, aiming to reduce the time between adoption and tangible value in enterprise-scale AI projects.
A generic AI model is rarely the best model for a specific sector. The agreement focuses on adapting and optimizing AI architectures to the data, regulations, and workflows specific to each vertical. In financial services, this means models tuned to regulatory requirements and high-frequency market data. In the public sector, the emphasis is on traceability and compliance with the European legal framework. In TMT, the priority is real-time personalization and management of large volumes of content. In energy, models are geared toward predictive maintenance, operations optimization, and field safety.
Deploying large models carries an operational and energy cost that limits scale. Multiverse Computing contributes its efficient AI models, which reduce that cost without sacrificing accuracy, making deployment viable on-premise or in compute-constrained environments. Building on these efficient models, the agreement calls for the development of AI agents: autonomous systems that execute complex tasks, coordinate external tools, and act as a genuine productivity lever for analysis, operations, and customer service teams within target organizations.
Sovereignty is not a niche requirement, it is a growing demand from regulators, boards, and security teams across Europe. The agreement ensures organizations retain full control over their models and data, without dependence on a single cloud provider or exposure of sensitive information to infrastructure outside their perimeter. This includes the ability to train, fine-tune, and audit models within their own environments, with full traceability over which data has influenced each decision made by the system.
Mass AI adoption introduces new attack vectors and integrity risks that conventional security tools do not cover. The agreement integrates SentinelAI, Multiverse Computing's security platform, into joint deployments. SentinelAI monitors model behavior in production, detects anomalies and improper access, and strengthens inference traceability — a critical requirement in regulated sectors such as banking, energy, and public administration.
In the words of Rodrigo Hernández, Generative AI Director at Multiverse Computing, “The AI that makes a difference isn't the biggest, but the one best suited to the problem. With EY, we bring that philosophy to sectors where data is sensitive, regulation is demanding, and the margin for error is minimal. Vertical specialization, combined with sovereignty and native cybersecurity, is the only sustainable path for enterprise AI in Europe.”
For JosĂ© MarĂa LucĂa, partner at EY wavespace, “Our clients, especially in highly regulated sectors, are asking us for AI solutions they can control and audit. The agreement with Multiverse Computing allows us to offer high-performance artificial intelligence, tailored to each sector and deployed under conditions of genuine sovereignty.”
