We help leaders prepare for the EU AI Act (enforcement 2 August 2026) and turn AI from compliance burden into measurable advantage.
Advisory, training and implementation, each grounded in published research and the EU AI Act, not in vendor incentives.
Strategy, governance and Fractional CAIO leadership for mid-market boards and executive teams.
Department-specific workshops on AI literacy, EU AI Act fundamentals, and hands-on use in real workflows.
90-day value sprints and custom AI automations that integrate with your systems and ship fast.
For European mid-market companies navigating the EU AI Act, Arqmetrica is the independent, research-backed AI advisory that turns governance from a compliance burden into a strategic advantage, combining published research on AI systems and human cognition with practical implementation that no generic consultancy or vendor-aligned trainer can match.
Each engagement is fixed-scope, vendor-neutral, and calibrated against the EU AI Act. Start where the friction is, or take the Index if you want a recommendation tailored to your score.
Two-week diagnostic of where you stand against the EU AI Act. Six interviews, document review, a 15–20 page gap report and a 12-week remediation roadmap.
Ongoing advisory at the seniority of a Chief AI Officer, at a fraction of the cost. Monthly board call, quarterly policy review, vendor evaluation, two strategy days per quarter.
Pick one high-value process. Diagnose, redesign, build, measure. End with a working pilot, governance wrap and adoption plan.
A 4–8 session programme for a department or leadership team. Pre-assessment, evidence-based curriculum, between-session work, behaviour-change measurement.
Custom AI workflows that integrate with your existing systems and ship fast.

A family-owned Iberian transport and logistics group with around 3,000 employees engaged Arqmetrica through 2025 to define an AI strategy, build internal capability, and prepare for EU AI Act enforcement. We left them with guidelines, a prioritised roadmap, and a team that can evaluate vendors on its own.
From August 2026, the EU AI Act enforces risk classification, transparency, and governance obligations on companies deploying AI in Europe. This is the practical 12-item checklist for mid-market organisations preparing now.
The Arqmetrica AI Maturity Index is built on six weighted dimensions, each anchored in a published framework (EU AI Act, OECD AI Principles, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, MIT Sloan/BCG). This article unpacks each dimension and the questions we ask.
Drawing on MIT Sloan/BCG 2024 longitudinal data and the inaugural Arqmetrica Index Q2 2026 cohort, this article diagnoses the two structural patterns that prevent European manufacturers from shipping AI pilots — and the three interventions that consistently work.
