NOVA and TellusR enter AI partnership to strengthen digital sovereignty in the Nordics
We are expanding our collaboration with Norwegian technology company TellusR to give our clients greater strategic flexibility, stronger data control, and access to secure, future‑ready AI architecture. Last year, our subsidiary Epinova became the first in the market to integrate TellusR’s software into its services. Building on that momentum, we are now scaling the partnership across the entire NOVA Consulting Group.
Why this partnership matters
More leaders are expressing concern about becoming locked into global AI platforms. We share that concern. That’s why we are choosing a Norwegian partner whose technology empowers organizations to work safely, independently, and on their own terms. TellusR’s AI Communications Hub allows organizations to switch seamlessly between different AI models fully protected behind their own firewall.
Our teams across NOVA already deliver award‑winning AI projects. With TellusR as a strategic partner, we can go even further — combining strong technological foundations with our advisory, design, and engineering expertise. Together, we will help more organizations across the Nordics adopt AI on secure, scalable, and responsible terms.
A shared vision
"Choosing a Norwegian technology partner built on Nordic values, openness, trust, and privacy is important to us. It reflects how we want to work, and how we want to support our clients. We believe this collaboration strengthens Norway’s ability to shape its own digital future.
As concerns around digital sovereignty grow, the need for locally developed, robust AI infrastructure has never been clearer. By joining forces with TellusR, we are taking an important step toward ensuring that organizations here at home can build and operate AI solutions with confidence," says Trine Røssel Ødegaard.
