Databricks, a data and AI company, has announced a new partnership with STATION F, a start-up campus, to help European tech leaders harness the full power of data and AI. Through this partnership, founders, engineers and data and AI teams will gain additional insights, skills and tools to scale AI apps and agents on their enterprise data with speed, governance and security.
The urgency for European founders to build strong AI capabilities has never been greater. According to PitchBook data, AI dominated European VC investment in 2025, accounting for nearly 40% of all European VC deal value by Q3 2025 – a trend further accelerating in 2026. This is why Databricks is partnering with STATION F to help European leaders build AI applications to scale their business faster with Lakebase, Databricks’ serverless Postgres database built for AI agents and Genie, Databricks’ AI agent that lets any employee chat with their data and get trusted answers instantly.
As part of this new partnership, Databricks will open a dedicated office at STATION F, actively contributing to the innovative community through a range of initiatives.
“Today’s founders have a unique opportunity to scale at unprecedented speeds with AI. Many of our customers have already proven what’s possible when building AI applications at scale whether it’s for more personalised customer experiences, streamlining data-driven decision-making and so much more,” said Nico Gaviola, VP Emerging Enterprise and Digital Natives, Databricks.
