When Xomnia acquired Aurai in June 2025, the fit was clear from day one: same standards, same ways of working, same commitment to making AI work for clients. The challenge was never whether this was the right move, it was doing it the right way.
Together, Xomnia now brings 120 specialists under one roof, a 53% capacity growth that enables the company to take on larger, more complex projects while maintaining the quality and personal attention its clients rely on.
The combined scale also unlocks deeper specialisation. With a joint force of data and AI specialists, Xomnia is building sector-specific practices in the industries where it already runs production AI at scale, including finance and insurance, retail, utilities, manufacturing, and the public sector. Aurai brings extensive expertise in modern data platforms, data engineering, and cloud-native architectures, alongside a strong client network across both the public and private sectors. Together, this broadens Xomnia's reach and strengthens its ability to deliver end-to-end data and AI solutions.
That breadth makes vertically integrated AI delivery possible: work that spans strategy, data foundations, and agentic delivery within a single industry context. Not handing clients between teams with different standards, but going deep in the sectors that matter most.
From the start, Xomnia and Aurai chose an integration approach that puts people first. As early as October 2025, just months after the acquisition, two internal teams were formed to lead the process from within: a culture team and an integration team.
The culture team, made up of eight colleagues from both companies, focused on shared values, norms, and ways of working. Their mission: ensure that as Xomnia grows, it would still feel like home to everyone in it, and actively shape what that culture looks like going forward. They developed new shared rituals and concrete initiatives to bring both companies together.
The integration team, made up of four members, focused on the practical realities: aligning employment conditions, harmonising processes, and ensuring every voice was heard. Both teams operated on one shared principle, nothing was decided top-down. Colleagues were at the table, advising management at every step.
Moving forward, Aurai operates under the Xomnia name. What made Aurai strong doesn't disappear, it becomes part of a larger whole. More specialists to learn from. Clearer paths to grow. Bigger, more varied projects. More room for new ideas.
A strong position in the Netherlands is the foundation, not the finish line. Xomnia's ambition is to become the leading data and AI consultancy in Northwest Europe — and this integration is a concrete step in that direction.
The work ahead is straightforward: help more organisations build AI that actually works. Not adopt it, not experiment with it, build it, own it, and grow with it. Together with our clients, we bring the specialists, knowledge, and infrastructure to make that happen.
Aurai was the right first step. It won't be the last. We are actively looking at opportunities to grow further, adding capabilities, perspectives, and talent that make us a stronger partner for our clients.
We are building the place where AI gets built, owned, and scaled. That work has already started.
Founded in 2013 and based in Amsterdam, Xomnia is a data and AI consultancy with one shared belief: that the power of data and AI can resolve real-world challenges.
With a team of 120 specialists, Xomnia helps organisations across sectors design and implement data strategies, build cloud-based data platforms, and develop AI products that work. Clients include IKEA, ASML, ING, Alliander and The Ocean Cleanup."
