Alice Labs ★ Editor's pick Sponsored
Alice Labs is a Stockholm-based boutique enterprise-AI consultancy that takes companies all the way from strategy to production. Where many firms stop at a report or a pilot, Alice Labs' stated focus is to actually ship to production — the part that creates business value. Since founding in 2023 the team has delivered 100+ AI implementations.
The offering spans the full chain: AI strategy and maturity assessment up front, then building AI agents, process automation and RAG systems on the company's own data, and finally governance and role-based training so the organisation can run and use what was built. One partner carries the work from first workshop to shipped system — no hand-off gap between strategist and builder.
Two things set them apart for Nordic companies. First, compliance-native delivery: EU AI Act and GDPR are engineered into the solution from day one, not bolted on as a document afterwards. Second, senior density: as a boutique, Alice Labs staffs senior consultants rather than junior-billed hours, giving a higher delivery cadence per krona. Delivers in Swedish and English, for clients across the Nordics and Europe.
