London — October 2nd, 2025: Harbr Data, the leading data marketplace platform for governed access to data, models, and insights, has been officially recognized as a Built on Partner by Databricks, the Data and AI company. This recognition validates Harbr Data's technical compatibility and deep integration with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, enabling large enterprises, governments, and data businesses to streamline the discovery, access, and use of data and AI products without compromising security or governance.
Harbr Data is trusted by some of the world’s largest and most complex data ecosystems, with customers reporting quicker time-to-value and reduced risk from their data and AI investments.
Harbr Data is designed for enterprises and governments that need a high degree of control around deployment, data residency, and compliance. The tight integration with Databricks allows Harbr to overcome challenges with data sharing in multi-organization environments. Within a customer’s Databricks environment, Harbr creates a secure and governed space where data products can be discovered, shared, and used. Key features of Harbr’s private data marketplace include:
- Curated, permissioned homepages and listings tailored to each team and integrated with Databricks Unity Catalog, a unified and open governance solution for data and AI assets
- Instant, secure sharing using a variety of cloud connectors, including Delta Sharing, Databricks’ open source approach that enables customers to share live data across platforms, clouds, and regions with strong security and governance
- The ability to query data through SQL Warehouse on Databricks or other sources using SQL or even natural language
For enterprises operating in highly regulated industries or across multiple jurisdictions, the combination of Databricks’ processing capabilities and Harbr Data’s governed marketplace approach supports compliance and security while improving accessibility and usability of data products.
Anthony Cosgrove, co-founder of Harbr Data, said: “We built Harbr Data to make data more useful to the people who need it most, without losing sight of security, governance, or control. Achieving Built on status with Databricks is a crucial validation of our technical approach — but more importantly, it’s proof that our customers can confidently bring governed data products to life inside their Databricks environments. Together, we’re helping enterprises turn their data investments into real, measurable outcomes.”
Heather Akuiyibo, VP of GTM Integration at Databricks, added: “Companies want to use their data to build intelligent applications, but are often held back by data governance and unification challenges. By combining Databricks’ powerful data and AI capabilities with Harbr Data’s governed data marketplace approach, enterprises can not only manage and secure their data, but also make it truly accessible and actionable across their organizations. That’s a powerful combination for driving data-driven decision-making at scale.”
