1. Technology overview
Collibra was founded in Belgium in 2008 and has dual headquarters in Brussels and New York. It helps large organisations make data easy to find, understand and trust, and now positions itself as an enterprise AI control plane that governs context, data, models and agents. The company reports more than 700 customers, about 1,000 employees and over 2 billion governed assets.
The Collibra Platform is built on a semantic graph that links raw data to business meaning. Its modules cover data catalog, data governance workflows, automated data lineage, data quality and observability, data privacy, a data marketplace for curated data products, and the AI Command Center for cataloguing and monitoring AI use cases, models and agents. Recent acquisitions add unstructured-data enrichment (Deasy Labs) and automated AI policy assessment (trail ML). Customers named on the site include HEINEKEN, L'Oreal, McDonald's, Toyota Motor Europe, BNP Paribas Fortis, Siemens and Vodafone.
