DeepKeep Selected as EIC Accelerator Winner: Europe Bets on AI Security

DeepKeep has been awarded €2.5M in blended finance through the EIC Accelerator's October 2024 cut-off, one of Europe's most competitive deep-tech funding programs. The co-funded project, Multimodal Models with AI-Native Security and Trustworthiness, recognizes that securing AI across LLMs, computer vision, spatial sensing, and multimodal systems is critical infrastructure.

The EIC Accelerator selects fewer than one in twenty applicants, backing companies working on technologies Europe considers strategically critical. Every organization deploying AI today faces the same underlying question: can I trust what this model is actually doing? Jailbreaks, adversarial inputs, data poisoning, PII leakage, and agentic failures are production realities, and DeepKeep was built from the ground up to address them across every modality and stage of the AI lifecycle.

"Being selected by the EIC is validation that AI security is not a niche concern. It's a European strategic priority. This funding accelerates our ability to protect the organizations deploying the most advanced AI systems in the world," said Rony Ohayon, CEO & Founder, DeepKeep.

The investment will accelerate DeepKeep's R&D and go-to-market across multimodal AI security, and connects DeepKeep to a broader ecosystem of European deep-tech companies pushing the boundaries of what's possible in AI security.
