26 February, 2026Lantek, a multinational company leading the digital transformation of the metal industry, and the Basque technology centre IKERLAN, both key players in the Basque AI ecosystem and members of BAIC, are collaborating on the GALAXIA project, an R&D initiative aimed at developing an industrial agentic AI architecture based on multi-agent systems capable not only of analysing information but also of executing coordinated actions in real production environments.
The project, funded by the Basque Government’s HAZITEK programme, marks progress toward technological sovereignty by promoting the local development of advanced artificial intelligence capabilities applied to industry. This approach reduces dependence on external technology platforms while ensuring control over critical data and processes.
GALAXIA is being developed in compliance with the requirements established by the European Artificial Intelligence Regulation (AI Act), which obliges companies to adapt their systems to new standards in security, transparency and governance. The multi-agent architecture designed by IKERLAN incorporates mechanisms that clearly define what each agent can do, in which context, and with what level of autonomy.
Lantek acts as project coordinator, contributing its expertise in industrial software, advanced data exploitation and the development of intelligent assistants applied to production processes. IKERLAN participates as technological lead, bringing its broad multi-technology capabilities and experience in intelligent systems and applied industrial research.
The consortium also includes companies from strategic sectors such as Eroski, Mondragon Assembly, Goizper, Xabet, Ubikare, Lis Data and Fagor Arrasate, which are validating the technology through specific use cases.
