Extend the value of your sovereign data in Postgres, bringing agentic AI into production quickly, simply, and securely
EDB Postgres AI transforms Postgres to deliver a sovereign data and AI platform, bridging the gap between your proprietary data and your AI ambitions.
Data challenges in the AI era
Data and AI sovereignty is at the forefront of every technology decision today. And with the growing demand for agentic and generative AI, the evolving tech landscape is moving quickly. By 2027, 60% of organizations will fail to realize the value of their AI use cases due to data governance concerns; the EU AI Act shows the importance of this globally. The reality is clear: before a company can tackle their AI ambitions, they need to consolidate, secure, and ensure end-to-end control over their hybrid data infrastructure. Organizations can’t be stalled by sovereignty challenges on their path to AI readiness.

EDB Postgres AI offers a single database platform for any workload, ready for sovereign AI
In addition to launching new Hybrid Management, Analytics, and AI capabilities, EDB remains 100% dedicated to innovation in Postgres. As the leading contributor to open source Postgres, we continue to evolve our enterprise-grade database server solution to support mission-critical transactional workloads, while also scaling to meet new AI demands.
Among the biggest obstacles to enterprise AI development today are the fragmented data environments that slow down their developer agility. Organizations struggle with multiple single-purpose databases that complicate governance, create operational overhead, and delay customer value delivery. Instead of building for the future, teams are stuck integrating data between disparate systems that weren’t designed to work together, causing three critical risks:
- Revenue loss from inevitable downtime
- Security exposure from unvetted open source dependencies
- Competitive disadvantage from legacy bottlenecks that prevent rapid market response
The result: reduced innovation velocity precisely when organizations need to move fastest to capitalize on AI opportunities!
