Haal Lab is built on a network of technology, infrastructure, cloud, and research partners — and an advisory board that keeps our engineering honest. Together they let us deliver production AI systems that meet the constraints European organizations actually face.
haal-lab.solutions / network
We partner with the technology, infrastructure, cloud, and research organizations that make production AI possible — with a focus on European sovereignty, open-weight models, and open-source infrastructure.
Our advisors bring deep expertise across AI research, infrastructure, privacy law, security, and product strategy. They review our architecture, pressure-test our decisions, and keep us honest about the gap between research and production.
AI Research Advisor
Former senior researcher at a European AI lab. Elena advises Haal Lab on retrieval architecture, evaluation methodology, and multilingual model selection. She holds a PhD in machine learning and has published extensively on dense and sparse retrieval.
Infrastructure & DevOps Advisor
Twenty years building production infrastructure at scale. Marcus guides our AI infrastructure practice — model serving, GPU scheduling, observability, and the operational discipline required to run LLMs in production without firefighting.
Privacy & Compliance Advisor
Technology lawyer specializing in EU digital regulation. Sophie helps us architect systems that meet GDPR and EU AI Act requirements by construction — not afterthought. She works at the intersection of law and engineering.
Applied ML Advisor
Applied ML researcher with production experience at several European startups. Rafael advises on agent orchestration patterns, fine-tuning strategy, and the practical tradeoffs between retrieval, fine-tuning, and prompt engineering.
Product & Strategy Advisor
Product leader who has shipped AI products to enterprise customers across Europe. Anika helps us bridge the gap between engineering depth and product clarity — making sure the systems we build solve real problems for real users.
Security & Threat Modeling Advisor
Security researcher focused on AI system threats — prompt injection, model supply chain, and inference-time attacks. Tomas helps us design private AI deployments that hold up against realistic adversaries, not just compliance checklists.
We partner with organizations that share our commitment to open-weight models, European sovereignty, and production-grade engineering. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
Who we partner with, how our advisory board works, and how to join the network.
Haal Lab partners with technology providers (NVIDIA, Hugging Face, Qdrant, Mistral AI, Aleph Alpha), European cloud and infrastructure providers (Hetzner, Scaleway, Gaia-X), and research institutions (Fraunhofer, INRIA). We focus on open-weight models, open-source infrastructure, and European data sovereignty.
Yes. We collaborate with European research organizations including Fraunhofer and INRIA on applied AI, retrieval systems, multilingual NLP, and evaluation methodology. These partnerships keep our engineering grounded in current research.
Our advisory board includes experts in AI research, infrastructure engineering, EU privacy law (GDPR and AI Act), security and threat modeling, and product strategy. They review our architecture, pressure-test our decisions, and ensure our work holds up in production — not just in demos.
