Goldman Sachs-backed German AI company, osapiens, is set to expand its UK operations, via its London office, with plans to invest €35 million, equivalent to approximately £30.3 million, in the region. The firm, which specialises in AI solutions for sustainable growth, has announced its intention to create more than 150 new high-skilled jobs in Britain, signalling a “long-term commitment” to the UK.
osapiens already has a presence with several UK-based clients, including major companies such as Tesco, British American Tobacco (BAT), and DS Smith.
Alberto Zamora, co-founder and chief executive of osapiens, commented on the expansion: “Our expansion into the UK marks a major step in our mission to help companies meet sustainability and compliance goals through AI-driven innovation. The UK’s leadership in AI and its commitment to responsible tech make it a natural partner for us. We are excited to strengthen our collaboration with industry and government, and to contribute to a shared vision of secure, sustainable, and future-ready supply chains across Europe.”
This strategic move by osapiens follows a recent announcement of an expanded collaborative relationship between British and German tech companies, which emerged from a meeting between Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
UK Tech Secretary Peter Kyle welcomed the investment, stating: “This investment from osapiens is a boon for the UK and our ambition to be a global powerhouse on AI-led innovation and growth. Their expansion will bring more high-wage jobs to the UK and help companies across the country to grow sustainably. This is another signal of the long-standing partnership on science and technology between the UK and Germany, helping to underpin the historic bilateral treaty signed between our two countries.”
