Sovereign AI & Digital State

Sovereign AI capacity, built and operated in Egypt.

AI compute, government cloud and data centers for Egypt’s institutions — with data, keys and models kept in the country at every phase.

Egypt’s agenda

Egypt has set the rules for sovereignty. The next step is capacity.

01For: MCIT and the Applied Innovation Center

Sovereign AI Cloud for Government

A government-only GPU cloud in Egypt for Karnak and ministries’ AI workloads.

What we deliver

  • GPU cloud reserved for government, hosted in Egypt
  • Secure hosting for Karnak and ministry AI workloads
  • Local key management: keys generated and held in Egypt
  • Full audit trail of every access and every model call

02For: National AI data-center projects

AI Data Center Operations & Optimization

Operating national AI capacity so every GPU and every megawatt does useful work.

What we deliver

  • GPU scheduling and capacity planning across tenants
  • Inference optimization to serve more requests per GPU
  • Energy and cooling monitoring with efficiency reports
  • Managed AI operations run from Egypt

03For: Governorates and institutions

Government Edge Data Centers

Smaller secure data centers in governorates and institutions: data stays on premises, managed centrally.

What we deliver

  • Secure modular sites, built with infrastructure partners
  • Central monitoring and management from one operations center
  • Hardware and software inspected to national rules
  • Local key management and backup inside Egypt

04For: All ministries

Arabic AI Services Platform

Shared Arabic and Egyptian-dialect AI services on top of Karnak, for every ministry.

What we deliver

  • Speech recognition and voice for Egyptian Arabic
  • Document understanding for Arabic forms and records
  • Assistants for staff and citizens, built on Karnak
  • One shared service layer, hosted on the sovereign cloud

How we scale

01

Assess

Workloads, sites, security rules and success measures agreed with MCIT.

02

Design

Architecture, GPU sizing and key management designed to national rules.

03

Build

Pilot built in Egypt with infrastructure partners.

04

Operate

Managed operations, optimization and audit from Egypt.

05

Scale

More ministries, sites and capacity, with Egyptian teams trained to run them.

Data, keys and models stay in Egypt at every phase, with written acceptance criteria and measured results.
