Datapao, a European data and AI consultancy, received strategic investment from Databricks and Euroventures to boost growth and provide generative AI through modern data platforms and training.
Many companies face challenges in scaling AI due to data, infrastructure, and skills gaps. Founded in 2016, Datapao helps firms with consulting, implementation, and training, especially in regulated sectors like finance, manufacturing, and energy.
How the funding will be used: The new funding will help expand consulting, boost migration programs, and introduce new GenAI upskilling initiatives.
KEY QUOTES:
“We kept seeing the same problem: ambitious GenAI ideas with no scalable platform to support them. So, we focused on building those platforms — on Databricks — and upskilling the teams that run them. Without both, GenAI doesn’t leave the lab.”
“We believe the next wave of AI success will come from those who get the foundations right — modern infrastructure, robust pipelines, and capable internal teams. This investment allows us to help more companies move from experimentation to execution.”
Mate Gulyas, CEO and Founder of Datapao
“Datapao has been a trusted partner for many years, consistently helping our joint customers realize data modernization on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. This investment from Databricks Ventures will accelerate their speed to market and empower them to deliver value to customers faster.”
Kori O’Brien, Senior Vice President, Global Partners at Databricks
“Euroventures has been investing successfully in enterprise software and data solutions for many years. The obvious next step is enterprise data platforms that productionize and make a reality of AI beyond the hype. Datapao, with its deep data platform expertise, strong management, and fast growth, is the best possible European professional services company to deliver these platforms to forward-looking companies.”
Tom Howells, Partner at Euroventures
