A Model of European Deep-Tech
Founded in Kraków, Synerise has built a global reputation by blending scientific excellence with commercial execution. Its proprietary platform integrates real-time AI, behavioral analytics, and advanced big data systems to support enterprise clients in automating decisions and delivering hyper-personalized experiences. The company’s technology stack includes Terrarium Database, Cleora.ai, and BaseModel.ai—the latter ranking among the most powerful private foundation models dedicated to behavioral data analysis.
The firm handles over 124TB of data monthly, processes more than 17.5 billion automated decisions, and generates over 4.6 billion AI-powered outputs each month. These metrics make it one of Europe’s largest behavioral intelligence engines. Synerise’s production ecosystem spans 460 active implementations in 49 countries, and it maintains open-source visibility in over 150 countries through global developer adoption.
Strategic and Symbolic Validation
The EIB’s financing through TechEU is both strategic and symbolic, highlighting Synerise as a model of homegrown European innovation that can rival US and Asian counterparts. CEO Jarosław Królewski called the partnership “a milestone” that affirms the global potential of European AI. EIB Vice-President Teresa Czerwińska emphasized that supporting a Polish tech champion aligns with the EU’s vision of strengthening competitive advantages and promoting digital sovereignty.
The TechEU programme, designed to inject €70 billion by 2027 and mobilize up to €250 billion in strategic tech investments, focuses on key sectors like AI, semiconductors, biotech, clean energy, and defense tech. Synerise is the first Polish AI company to benefit from this ambitious initiative.
A Research-Driven Vision
What distinguishes Synerise is its deep commitment to research. Its AI teams have published in top academic journals and won global machine learning competitions. The company is actively shaping future standards in graph learning, recommendation engines, and predictive modeling through open-source engagement and academic partnerships. Its Kraków-based R&D unit continues to mentor new AI talent and collaborate with top universities to promote scientific rigor and innovation ethics.
This approach has won accolades from Microsoft, Google, EY, and the Financial Times, and earned its CEO selection to the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders programme.
Why It Matters
Synerise’s success is a strong signal for the Polish and broader CEE startup ecosystem. It shows that strategic public capital, when combined with deep scientific commitment and scalable product vision, can create competitive, sustainable European tech champions. The EIB’s investment also validates Poland’s increasing role in shaping the EU’s tech sovereignty strategy.
