Mearra has been accredited by the Drupal Association as a Drupal Certified Partner for 2026–2027. Currently, we are the only company in Finland to hold this certification.
While we take pride in our heritage as Drupal pioneers, our focus is on the future—a future we are actively shaping through our involvement in the Drupal AI initiative. In this article you will learn about the future and potential of Drupal in the AI era and how Mearra has always been a major player in the field of Drupal Community - in Finland and internationally.
Building the future of AI
The “future” of tech is often spoken about in the abstract. At Mearra, we prefer to build it alongside the other pioneers of Drupal.
The Drupal AI Initiative is currently shaping how organizations will manage content and automation in the coming years. Our developers are not just observing this transition; they are among the ones actively building the core elements of the Drupal AI roadmap.
For our clients, this means:
- Direct access to innovation: Our developers understand the inner workings of the new AI tools because they are contributing to the code.
- Stable implementation: We focus on governed, secure, and production-ready applications of AI, avoiding the “hype” in favor of what actually works.
- A pioneer’s perspective: Being at the forefront of the AI initiative allows us to advise our clients on what is coming next, ensuring their digital platforms remain future-proof.
Drupal is only one part of the kit, but a highly AI-compatible one
While we are proud to be Finland’s only certified Drupal partner, our focus remains on the bigger picture. Drupal is a powerful tool for complex integrations and content-intensive industries like Media, EdTech, and B2B, but it is just one instrument in our craft.
In the age of AI, Drupal stands as a premium open-source choice because it provides the structure and security that “bolt-on” AI solutions simply cannot match.
- Native structured data: Unlike platforms that treat content as simple text blocks, Drupal’s entity system and “Context Graphs” allow AI to “read” your information with up to 99% accuracy. This creates a foundation for intelligent automation that actually understands your business context.
- Security-by-design: Drupal’s architecture includes native, field-level access controls and “bidirectional AI Guardrails.” This ensures that AI agents operate strictly within your existing permissions, preventing sensitive data leaks or brand-damaging hallucinations.
- Total data sovereignty: Being provider-agnostic means you aren’t locked into one LLM. Whether you use public models or host local ones for maximum privacy, your infrastructure remains flexible and under your control.
- Enterprise stability: With a dedicated security team and rigorous coding standards, Drupal offers a significantly smaller attack surface than other open-source alternatives, making it the standard for mission-critical environments.
Over a decade of contribution
Our history with Drupal is deep. For more than 10 years, Mearrans have been active contributors in the Drupal community:
- Mearra experts speak at global and local Drupal events every year
- Our CEO, Vesa Palmu has been a board member for Drupal Association for six years
- Mearra has been a gold sponsor for DrupalCamp Finland for over a decade
- Mearrans have actively been in the board of the Finnish Drupal Association, and our COO, Juha Niemi is currently the chair of the board.
This long-term commitment ensures that when our clients face complex technical challenges, they are partnered with an agency that doesn’t just read the documentation—we are the ones building and writing it.
Frequently asked questions
What does it mean that Mearra is a “Drupal Certified Partner”? It means the Drupal Association has verified our technical expertise and our significant contribution to the Drupal ecosystem.

How does Mearra’s role in the Drupal AI initiative benefit clients? Because our developers are among those building the Drupal AI framework, we have an “under the hood” understanding of these tools.

Is Mearra building and developing only with Drupal? No. We are a strategic partner that solves complex digital challenges using the best tools for the job. Our slogan—Business. People. Tech. Together.—reflects our commitment to finding the right balance between business needs and various technologies, with Drupal being a core strength, but just one tool in our toolbox.
