Why look for a European alternative to Palantir?

Palantir is headquartered in Miami, United States. These are the reasons buyers in Europe most often give for looking elsewhere:

  • Palantir is a US company, headquartered in Miami since February 2026, so US law, including the CLOUD Act, applies to it.
  • Its software can run in a customer's own data centre or private cloud, and in February 2026 Rackspace said it would run Foundry and AIP in its UK sovereign data centres.
  • Several European governments are reviewing their use of Palantir. In June 2026 the Dutch defence ministry said it wants a full European alternative within two years, and Germany was shortlisting European suppliers, including ChapsVision.

How this list was made

A company counts as European if it's headquartered in Europe: the EU, the EEA, Switzerland, the UK, or elsewhere in geographic Europe, never Russia or Belarus. Headquarters means where it's run from, not a registered office. Companies founded in Europe but headquartered elsewhere today are listed separately, and a non-European owner is always named.

Each company was checked against its own legal notice, pricing page and data-processing terms, and its G2 page. Headcount, funding and founding year come from LeadWave's database of SaaS companies. No company paid to be listed or ranked.
