What Galene.AI does

Galene.AI S.r.l. is a privately held Italian company founded in 2024 and headquartered in Milan that has built a full-stack private AI platform for on-premises enterprise deployment. The platform combines three proprietary layers — Generative Nexus for inference orchestration and GPU-tuned model serving, Generative Pillars for governed data integration across enterprise systems, and Generative Shield for runtime governance and security — built on managed open-source foundations (Kubernetes, OpenStack) and optimized for NVIDIA GPU infrastructure. The company targets organizations requiring data sovereignty, AI Act compliance, and full control over data, models, infrastructure, and policies, with contractual guarantees that customer data remains the customer's property.

The platform is delivered through three product lines — Elettra (desktop/office turn-key appliance for 1–99 users), Arethusa (enterprise rack-scale cluster for 100–250 users), and Castalia (NeoCloud-grade sovereign AI fabric for 250+ users) — co-designed with Dell Technologies OEM and featuring NVIDIA GPU-native inference optimization including time-slicing, MIG, and NVFP4 quantization. A Turn-Key AI Productivity Suite includes five ready-to-use applications, and the platform supports integration with 15+ enterprise applications via OpenAI-compatible APIs and MCP Server connectors spanning SharePoint, SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, and major databases.

The company operates a per-GPU perpetual licensing model with multi-year contracts, distributed through a tri-channel go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales, a certified partner network, and global distribution via TD SYNNEX. No external venture capital funding has been disclosed. The company appears founder-driven under Andrea Cappelletti (Founder & CEO), with a team of approximately 18 personnel spanning engineering, commercial, and governance functions.
