About DNY

An Australian trusted, open AI group

DNY Cross Border Group builds the commercial layer between global open-source AI and Australian enterprise and industry. We create value at the commercialisation layer — localisation, security, integration, operations and support — rather than training a new foundation model.

Market Thesis

Access to models is not deployment

Open models lowered the barrier to experimentation, but production deployment needs a far broader operating stack: model selection, licence review, data controls, identity, integration, monitoring, evaluation, security, incident handling and ongoing support.

12%
of Australian businesses used AI in 2024–25, up from 1% in 2021–22 (ABS)
89%
of organisations use open source in their AI stack; 63% use an open model (Linux Foundation, 2025)

enterprise procurement behind the Buy Australian AI Partnership (DISR, 2026)
6%
reported AI use in Construction; 9% in Manufacturing — the deployment gap we target (ABS)

Build Principles

How we build

Australian-led

Governance, data rules, standards adaptation and industry application grounded in Australian law, market and industry needs.

Open collaboration

Open to global quality technology, models, data and research — not dependent on a single country, supplier or technology route.

Trust first

Verifiable, traceable and auditable mechanisms for data source, version, permission, update and call.

Industry first

Start from real industry projects with clear data foundations and practical value.

Standardised interfaces

APIs, data dictionaries, unified identifiers and standardised structures connect different platforms and systems.

Clear IP

Each party keeps existing IP; new data, derived results and joint work are assigned by specific agreement.

Policy Alignment

Consistent with Australia’s national direction

Australia’s National AI Plan focuses on domestic capability, smart infrastructure, adoption, responsible practice and international engagement, with the National AI Centre supporting practical industry adoption. In 2026 the Buy Australian AI Partnership connected Australian AI companies with large enterprise buyers — recognising that promising technology still needs help with procurement, governance and deployment.

Australian Open Source AI Alliance

The group in one line

Australia’s trusted, open AI platform — a deployment layer that makes open AI safe, governed and production-ready, from enterprise agents to robotics and physical AI, with applied ventures across the physical economy.
