report<br>Palantir in Europe: A Public-Source Map of Government and Corporate Deployments
20 July 2026 · 15 min read<br>· By Chris McCabe
40<br>European organisations and public bodies with publicly documented Palantir relationships. The strength of the underlying evidence varies: some are confirmed deployments, others are pilots, partnerships, letters of intent, or infrastructure observations.<br>Snapshot as at 20 July 2026. Assembled from procurement notices, parliamentary records, customer or Palantir announcements, independent named-source reporting, and a small number of direct DNS and certificate-transparency observations. Each entry carries an evidence-status label in the tables below.
CipherCue is a European infrastructure-observation platform. Most of what we publish is derived from our own continuous scanning. This article is different: it is a public-source review of one vendor's European footprint, assembled from contract records, parliamentary records, official announcements and independent reporting, with a small number of technical corroborations.
Palantir Technologies is a United States company founded in 2003 with early funding from the CIA's venture arm In-Q-Tel. Its principal products are Gotham (used by intelligence, defence and police agencies), Foundry (used across commercial industries and increasingly in government), Apollo (deployment and operational tooling) and AIP (Palantir's platform for integrating AI models with governed enterprise data, operational workflows, applications and automations). The article names the European organisations we could document, labels the evidence class behind each, and notes where a public decision has been taken to reduce, replace or block Palantir use.
Two limitations shape everything below. First, Palantir does not publish a customer list. Tenants sit behind private hostnames, some but not all of which live under palantirfoundry.com, and free certificate-transparency interfaces time out on that domain during enumeration. The article therefore relies mainly on desk research rather than probes, and a reader can reasonably describe that as a lit review with a small technical corroboration layer. Second, aggregator sites (bloomberry.com, appsruntheworld.com) and Palantir's own Impact case studies list further European entities not documented here; someone including those sources uncritically would produce a larger list. We chose the narrower cut because each entry below has a clickable source and a labelled evidence class.

n=40 publicly documented relationships across 14 countries plus one EU-level body (Europol). Evidence strength varies: see status column in the tables below.
Public sector: defence, intelligence, police, health, central government
Public-sector entries below span twelve countries plus Europol: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Poland, Ukraine, Belgium, Lithuania and Norway. Not all entries are current active deployments. Each row carries a status label to distinguish confirmed deployments from pilots, partnerships, letters of intent and blocked or historical procurements.
