Artefact partners with MotherDuck to deliver next-generation AI & data analytics solutions

With their new EU region announced today at Big Data London 2025, MotherDuck brings the power of DuckDB, the innovative open-source database created at CWI in Amsterdam, into the cloud for European enterprises. As a serverless cloud data warehouse, MotherDuck enables organizations to analyze data efficiently without managing costly distributed infrastructure. While the platform has been available globally, until now data could only be stored in U.S.-based servers. With MotherDuck’s new EU region, European enterprises can store and process their data locally, meeting legal requirements for data sovereignty and ensuring sensitive information remains under local jurisdiction. To fully unlock this innovation, Artefact will support enterprises with the right strategy, architecture, and change management, areas in which it has specialized for over 10 years.

This partnership underscores Artefact’s role as a trusted advisor for organizations navigating the complexity of modern data transformation. By combining Artefact’s proven expertise in data strategy, cloud migration, and AI integration with MotherDuck’s serverless data warehouse, European enterprises will be able to:

• Rapidly scale analytics without the overhead of distributed systems.
• Optimize performance and scalability for enterprise-scale data needs.
• Embed analytics into decision-making, ensuring measurable business impact.
• Lower costs and increase agility in their data infrastructure.

“We’re thrilled to have Artefact as an official launch partner as we announce MotherDuck’s EU region. Artefact’s ability to turn new technologies into enterprise-ready solutions will help European companies scale fast, efficient analytics with MotherDuck,”

says Nouras Haddad, VP of Partnerships and Channels at MotherDuck

“MotherDuck represents the future of Data Engineering with impressive capabilities and an unmatched performance-to-cost ratio. As a modern consulting firm always on the lookout for useful innovations in the industry, I am very pleased to support this partnership with a technical product that has everything it takes to become one of tomorrow’s leading players”
