A first-of-its-kind partnership bridges Swedish AI innovation with Southeast Asian governance expertise, local teams and know-how, enabling organizations to adopt AI at scale without compromising compliance, data sovereignty, or operational resilience.
STOCKHOLM / JAKARTA / SINGAPORE - Ebbot, Sweden's leading enterprise AI platform, and Veda Praxis, Southeast Asia's trusted digital, governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), and cybersecurity advisory firm, today announced a strategic AI alliance to accelerate responsible AI deployment across Southeast Asia. The partnership unites Ebbot's sovereign, GDPR-compliant agentic AI platform with Veda Praxis's two decades of regional expertise in cybersecurity, digital transformation, and enterprise risk management.
Southeast Asia's digital economy is projected to reach US$1 trillion by 2030 (part of a broader regional economy forecast to exceed US$4.5 trillion), with AI expected to add up to 18% to regional GDP. Yet embedding AI into critical systems, particularly in banking, financial services, and public sector operations, introduces material risks around model transparency, data sovereignty, and regulatory compliance. Regulators are responding - Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) has issued dedicated AI governance guidance, Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) continues to set regional benchmarks, and Vietnam enacted one of the world's first comprehensive AI laws in December 2025, effective March 2026.
The alliance resolves what both organizations describe as the "innovation-compliance paradox" - the tension between the urgency to modernize and the need to remain compliant and resilient. Ebbot provides the AI engine, and Veda Praxis provides the governance backbone and local deployment teams and capabilities. Together, they offer organizations a structured pathway from AI readiness assessment through to production deployment and ongoing audit, aligned to ISO/IEC 42001 and local regulatory requirements.
A defining commitment is inclusivity, ensuring responsible AI adoption is accessible to organizations of all sizes, from the region's largest institutions to MSMEs and public sector entities.
“Southeast Asia is moving fast on artificial intelligence, but sustainable adoption depends on trust, security, accountability, and auditability built in from the start. This alliance pairs Ebbot’s enterprise-grade agentic solutions with Veda Praxis’s governance, risk, and compliance discipline, so organizations can scale real-world use cases without compromising regulatory expectations, data sovereignty, or operational resilience.”
Syahraki Syahrir, CEO, Veda Praxis
“Through our partnership with Veda Praxis in Southeast Asia, we enable organizations to move faster from strategy to impact by modernizing service operations and applying AI to create measurable business value. Our focus is clear, to be the platform partners choose when they want to deliver AI-driven service solutions that work in practice, scale globally, and create long-term customer value.”
Johan Ekberg, Acting CEO, Ebbot
“This is a practical bridge between Swedish innovation and the realities of Southeast Asia across various industries. Together, we help organizations move from the very first strategic questions on artificial intelligence to measurable outcomes, with governance and cybersecurity embedded by design, so artificial intelligence can be deployed responsibly, scaled with confidence, and deliver value.”
Marek Kosmowski, Chief International & Marketing Officer, Veda Praxis
