Palantir Technologies is a US software company specialising in data products used widely by governments for surveillance, intelligence and military purposes.
Palantir has deep ties to various US government agencies, supplying ICE with systems used to track down migrants.
And in January 2024, Palantir signed a contract with the Israeli military to use its technology in support of “war-related missions.”
“
Palantir is here to disrupt…and, when it’s necessary, to scare our enemies and, on occasion, kill them.
Alex Karp, Palantir CEO, 2025 ”
In recent years, Palantir has been quietly expanding into the UK.
It has built up more than £500m in contracts in Britain, including agencies such as the Ministry of Defence, the Royal Navy, Coventry City Council and several police forces.
