The partnership will help organisations in\nhighly regulated sectors deploy powerful AI solutions that keep data within\nclient-controlled environments and support compliance with European regulatory\nframeworks.\n\n\nDomyn's end-to-end AI system — spanning compute, proprietary models,\ngovernance, and agents —is purpose-built for exactly this challenge, and\nCognizant's role as an AI Builder and trusted global systems integrator, with\ndeep EMEA enterprise relationships, makes it the ideal partner to bring these\ncapabilities to scale.\n\nUnder the partnership, Domyn will provide the AI infrastructure layer,\ndelivering LLMs that can be deployed within client environments, on-premise or\nin private cloud configurations, while Cognizant will serve as the\napplication, integration, and domain execution layer.
