- Datashift is now partnering with Kyvvu, a Dutch company specializing in real-time control and governance for AI agents.

This adds an additional level of protection on top of the permissions, access controls and guardrails already built into the agents themselves. The combination brings together Datashift's experience in designing, building and deploying AI

- Data Expo Utrecht: two days, one clear signal. Organizations are done experimenting with data and AI in silos. They're ready to scale. Last week, our Dutch team joined 6,000+ data, tech and business professionals at Data Expo, as proud gold partner. Two days of sharp sessions, real conversations, and one recurring theme: the shift from fragmented data to a solid foundation that actually scales. On our booth, we ran a live demo on Agentic AI Governance. In short: Data Governance applied to real agentic AI use cases, like the one we
- 9 new graduates just started their first job at Datashift.🎓 (Pictured here, as part of a bigger group of 15 new Datashifters who joined this week.) New role, new colleagues, and the first real taste of what they studied for. There's a lot of talk right now about whether AI is closing that door for junior people. We don't think it should, someone has to learn the trade first. That's what the coming weeks are for: these 9 go through the Datashift Bootcamp, working hands-on across Data Engineering, Business Intelligence, Data
- A first for Datashift 🎉 Last week, at our "Final Friday on a Thursday," Nathalie Bienstman became the first colleague to reach ten years at Datashift. Ten years is more than a number. Grown from four people around a kitchen table to 225+ today, and Nathalie lived through all of it, staying exactly herself the whole way.

And they did it. 💥 ⛰️ The weather on day one, the cols, the switchbacks, the suffering, all of it worth it. This year's edition of Golazo Group's Climbing for Life pushed our team to new personal limits, and they delivered. A physical feat, but also a ride with purpose: raising awareness and funds in the fight against diabetes. Proud of every one of them. Thinking about joining our pink squad in 2027? Spots are

- Perfection is the enemy of progress." 💡 Wabi-Sabi Data Governance is the radical alternative to the "perfection trap" that keeps organizations bogged down in complexity. In our latest deep dive, our Data Governance expert Gorik Desmet challenges the myth of perfect data. If your governance framework feels more like a roadblock than a catalyst, it’s time to shift your focus from unattainable ideals to real-world agility. As Gorik puts it: "Data is constantly moving.
