London-based provider of data lineage solutions, Solidatus, has secured a £5 million loan from the Growth Debt Fund at Salica Investments to support research and development (R&D) and drive growth.
The global data governance market is expected to approach £20 billion by 2032, with data lineage becoming an increasingly important element. Growth in the market is being driven by the rising volume and complexity of data, stricter regulation, and increased requirements for data quality and security.
To address these issues, Solidatus offers advanced data lineage solutions for highly regulated sectors such as financial services, energy, and pharmaceuticals. The platform enables organisations to map, manage, and trace data from its source through transformations to its downstream use. This process creates a clear, auditable view that assists with decision-making, compliance, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives.
Alun Baker, Executive Chairman at Solidatus, said: “Our focus on advancing the platform’s AI capabilities will further enhance our customers’ ability to manage complexity, ensure compliance, and unlock the value of trusted data at scale. Without lineage, even the most advanced models risk instability, and regulatory cracks will start to show, with major consequences to businesses across all sectors.”
By reducing manual effort in complex governance tasks and adding natural-language interactions to Solidatus’ lineage intelligence, the platform will simplify how organisations build data trust, navigate complex models, and meet regulatory requirements. The new investment will accelerate the development of AI-enabled features, including automatic lineage generation with human-in-the-loop verification and inter-system lineage.
