Who They Work With
Industrial and financial enterprises building on Palantir Foundry, or weighing whether they should.
Based on 5 documented clients · verified Aug 2026
Our Take
The practice is built around Palantir Foundry, and the published work shows what that buys: a supply-chain control tower that cut a global retailer's out-of-stock levels by half, early-warning indicators for risk and fraud at a major Swiss bank, a Foundry center of excellence at a financial institution, and a blending-optimization algorithm at a Swiss chemical company reported at roughly CHF 400,000 saved per year.
Client names appear on the roster (Daimler, Merck, Swiss Re, Firmenich, WWF) more often than inside the case studies, so the pattern is a named logo wall plus described-but-anonymized engagements—checkable, but only by asking.
The wildfire-spread prediction work for WWF is published in full and is the clearest end-to-end example of method on the site.
The weaker fit is a buyer who wants to avoid the Palantir ecosystem, since a large share of the published delivery assumes it.
Key strengths
- Over 250 delivered data and AI projects and 150+ staff with prior experience at Apple, Amazon, Google and Palantir
- Certified partner across Palantir, OpenAI, NVIDIA, AWS, Snowflake, Databricks and Dataiku—platform choice is unlikely to be constrained by one vendor relationship
- Named fastest-growing Swiss company by the Financial Times in 2022, with Sagard NewGen backing the current phase
Good to know
- Ask which engagements ran outside Foundry if you do not intend to adopt it
- Most case studies describe the client by sector rather than by name—request a speakable reference in yours
- The Zurich presence is an office; the head office and registered entity are in Lausanne
