Anthropic Launches European AI Consulting Venture With Private Equity Firm Hg

Anthropic has established its first independent European business, partnering with London-based private equity firm Hg to create a new consultancy that will place AI engineers and consultants directly into European companies seeking to adopt advanced AI capabilities. The venture, expected to launch by the end of 2026 with initial hubs in London and Berlin, marks a strategic expansion beyond Anthropic's traditional licensing model and mirrors a parallel $1.5 billion enterprise AI services joint venture the company established in the United States earlier this year.
