"Over a decade, governments have utilized intelligence analysis software from Palantir. Now they will have a legitimate choice with GraphAware Hume, powered by the Neo4j graph intelligence platform. We aren't just launching a new intelligence analysis alternative to Palantir Gotham. We're acquiring a proven solution that's built on open-standards technology, and already trusted by government agencies throughout the world," said Emil Eifrem, Founder and CEO, Neo4j.
Advances in AI and growing geopolitical tensions have made sovereign solutions essential. Organizations need the ability to own, manage, and control their data in ways that best serve their needs. The era of proprietary black-box solutions is over. Government agencies require the choice and control only made possible by an architecture based on a certified open standard that is modular by design and built to naturally integrate with all enterprise AI platforms.
Bringing GraphAware's intelligence analysis capabilities into Neo4j's graph intelligence platform will give government agencies a powerful, sovereign alternative for collaborative investigation and explainable decision intelligence across complex, connected data. This will put customers in control of their deployment, data, and exit path, not the vendors who build the systems.
A major challenge government organizations face when implementing an intelligence system is a lack of specialized market expertise and purpose-built, user-friendly software. Now GraphAware's government-grade, production-ready intelligence analysis software, built natively on Neo4j's graph intelligence platform, will help to close this gap.
GraphAware Hume is a graph-powered intelligence analysis platform for mission-critical environments that helps organizations work with complex, fragmented information. It brings data and context together into a connected intelligence picture, enabling analysts to investigate relationships, build contextual understanding, and collaborate across teams. Designed for the operational needs of law enforcement, defense organizations, and tax authorities, GraphAware Hume supports analyst-led investigation in complex intelligence environments.
The Western Australia Police Force uses Neo4j and GraphAware Hume to transform policing across the world's largest policing jurisdiction, accelerating crime analysis and investigations by unifying siloed data, uncovering hidden connections, and significantly reducing the turnaround time on data analysis from hours to seconds.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) uses Neo4j and GraphAware Hume on a DoD IL5 network inside a fully-accredited DevSecOps platform, hosted on the U.S. Air Force's (USAF) Cloud One, to deliver graph-enabled AI applications for mission-critical analytics.
A European national cyber defense agency relies on Neo4j and GraphAware Hume to detect and understand threats before they impact critical infrastructure, companies, and societies.
"The future of intelligence analysis is undeniably graph-powered and AI-assisted. Having partnered with Neo4j for over ten years, integrating GraphAware Hume into the Neo4j ecosystem is an extremely exciting next step. We have long relied on Neo4j's platform to put the power of connected data into the hands of analysts. By joining forces, we will drive tighter integration and faster innovation, delivering game-changing AI capabilities to our existing joint customers and new organizations worldwide," said Michal Bachman, Founder and CEO of GraphAware.
This announcement stems from accelerated market demand for graph intelligence, with Neo4j achieving a 4x increase in customers solving for AI-ready data use cases, with a significant portion of these in production. In October 2025, Neo4j announced a $100 million investment to support AI product innovation and company initiatives, including the launch of Neo4j Aura Agent, MCP Server for Neo4j, and the AI Start-up program, which now has over 700 registered companies.
