About Decentriq
The most valuable data is often too sensitive to be shared and restricted in how it can be used. Our secure data collaboration platform, based on a new privacy-enhancing technology called Confidential Computing, solves this by letting companies and organizations share without sharing — combining sensitive data and discovering new insights without ever exposing the raw data to the other party. Or to us. Or to the cloud provider.
Who uses our product? Decentriq powers data collaboration in the world’s most privacy-conscious industries, including media (Goldbach), healthcare (Roche), banking and the public sector (Swiss Army).
Our headquarters is in Zurich, but you can find us in Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and distributed across Europe.
