Neo4j Acquires GraphAware to Launch Intelligence Analysis Alternative to Palantir Gotham
June 3, 2026
Neo4j, the world’s leading graph intelligence platform, today announced an agreement to acquire GraphAware, an intelligence analysis software company for government agencies. The acquisition will launch a new generation of AI-powered, graph technology solutions based on open standards, as a proven and trusted alternative to Palantir Gotham. This marks a key milestone in Neo4j’s $100 million AI investment roadmap, accelerating the development and delivery of autonomous, context-aware agents that turn raw, siloed data into explainable, actionable intelligence.
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, whether that means keeping it within national borders for compliance and security or freely enabling secure access to support emerging AI use cases and innovation.
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.
Emil Eifrem, Founder and CEO, Neo4j, said, “For 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.”
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.

Michal Bachman, Founder and CEO of GraphAware, said, “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.”
In October 2025, Neo4j announced a $100 million investment to support AI product innovation, including Neo4j Aura Agent, MCP Server for Neo4j, and an AI Start-up program with over 700 registered companies. Neo4j achieved a 4x increase in customers solving for AI-ready data use cases.
