Region Gotland chose Intric to enable AI capabilities across the organization while maintaining architectural control and security. Within a month of launch, approximately 900 staff members are actively using the platform.

“We are excited to begin this journey with Intric and already see significant potential across many of our operations. The implementation of the AI platform is an important step in Region Gotland’s digital development — our goal is to strengthen AI competence and make it easy for all employees to use the technology as support in their daily work.”

Jenelle Holpers

AI Platform Manager, Region Gotland

Region Gotland was able to say yes to AI without giving up control. All data remains where it belongs, under the region’s own governance. The choice of models is theirs. The path forward is theirs. That is the prerequisite for building assistants that truly serve the institution — not the other way around.

Staff can use the platform to support their work across administrative tasks, from analyzing information and drafting documents to handling routine processes. This frees up capacity for work that requires professional judgment. The platform is built for regulated environments where data sovereignty and architectural control are essential. Region Gotland retains authority over its data and infrastructure, avoiding model dependency in critical functions.

“We have now laid the foundation, but we know that the most important lessons will come through practical use. We also place great value on the strong culture of knowledge-sharing that exists between different organizations, where we can exchange experiences across boundaries. This is only the beginning, and we look forward to the next step!”

Mattias Barraza Eriksson

AI Ambassador, Region Gotland

Intric is designed to be implemented quickly in existing environments, without requiring organizations to rebuild their infrastructure or change how they govern data. This makes it possible to move from decision to practical use in a short time, while still meeting security and compliance requirements.

“Region Gotland carries responsibility for healthcare, elderly care, and public administration. The data generated in these services requires a particularly high level of protection — both legally and institutionally. What Region Gotland is demonstrating now is not whether sovereign AI is possible here, but how it can work in practice across 7,000 employees, under the conditions that actually apply.”
