DESILO Attends London Tech Week 2026 Receptions and Nexus Luxembourg 2026, Accelerating Its European Market Entry

DESILO participated in the European Networking Reception and the Women in Digital Innovation reception during London Tech Week, followed by an exhibition booth and an official pitch at Nexus Luxembourg 2026, Luxembourg's AI & tech summit.

With one year remaining until Article 75 of the EU AMLR takes effect, the events spotlighted the demand for fraud-related information sharing confirmed across both the EU and UK markets — and the role of privacy-enhancing technologies.

DESILO accelerated its market entry this past June through a European itinerary linking London, UK, and Luxembourg. Ahead of establishing its European entity, DESILO attended two receptions held alongside London Tech Week 2026 — Europe's largest tech event — on June 7 and 8, and then took part in Nexus Luxembourg 2026, an AI & tech summit held in Luxembourg on June 10 and 11.

DESILO's Head of Business Development, Myoungbee Sung, attended the European Networking Reception in London on June 7, meeting founders and investors from London and across Europe, as well as stakeholders in privacy-enhancing technologies (PET), financial infrastructure, and Trustworthy AI, to discuss the European market's technology needs and opportunities for collaboration.

Sung also attended the Women in Digital Innovation reception on June 8, hosted at the residence of Georges Friden, Luxembourg's Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Jointly organized by the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, Luxembourg Trade & Invest London, the Business Club Luxembourg-United Kingdom, the Women4Cyber Foundation, and TechWomen4Boards, the reception brought Luxembourg's trade, diplomatic, and cybersecurity communities together with companies expanding into Europe. DESILO attended at the invitation of Sabika Ishaq, President of Women4Cyber Luxembourg.

On June 10 and 11, DESILO participated in Nexus Luxembourg 2026, the AI & tech summit held at LuxExpo The Box in Luxembourg. The event was run in connection with the "Nexus Luxembourg 2026 – Startup & Scaleups Awards" program organized by the Luxembourg Trade and Investment Office (LTIO). Selected as a participating company in the program, DESILO ran an exhibition booth, delivered an official pitch, and held B2B meetings with financial institutions, investors, and technology partners from across Europe. The participation marked DESILO's official debut in the European deep-tech ecosystem.

This European itinerary spanning London and Luxembourg confirmed that the EU and UK markets face the same structural challenge. For financial institutions to jointly counter money laundering and fraud, they must share data — yet the very data that needs to be shared is sensitive information that is difficult to expose externally.

In the EU, Article 75 of the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) has opened an official channel for such cooperation. Article 75 institutionalizes Partnerships for Information Sharing (PfIS), enabling obligated entities to exchange information on high-risk customers and suspicious transactions within a structure equipped with oversight and personal-data safeguards; it applies from July 10, 2027. The EU's Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) plans to support the establishment of partnerships through consultation with the private sector throughout 2026, while the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and AMLA are preparing joint guidelines to reconcile information sharing with data protection. Because the governance, data protection, and technical infrastructure required for such partnerships cannot be built in a short time, regulators and advisors alike agree that now — one year before enforcement — is the time to prepare.

The UK is moving in the same direction. In its Fraud Strategy 2026-2029, announced this past March, the UK government signaled a system-level response investing over £250 million over three years, and launched an Online Crime Centre that brings together law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the private sector. The Home Office has also begun a consultation to reform the framework for economic-crime information sharing. However, even though a legal channel for private-sector information sharing has existed since early 2024, actual uptake has been slow due to competition concerns and confidentiality burdens. Ultimately, in both markets the bottleneck lies not in whether information sharing is legally permitted, but in the burden of having to hand sensitive data directly to another institution in order to collaborate.

DESILO presented a solution to this problem based on fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). With FHE, computation is performed while data stays encrypted from end to end, so each institution can jointly detect fraud patterns over combined data without exposing its raw data to the others. It realizes the approach that Article 75 of the AMLR envisions — sharing intelligence while never sharing plaintext data.

DESILO is currently preparing to establish its European entity, DESILO Europe, in Luxembourg, and will announce related news in stages. It plans to continue engaging with Europe's financial, regulatory, and cybersecurity communities, and to broaden the real-world applications of privacy-enhancing technologies (PET).
