Aleria Accelerates Sovereign AI Development with NVIDIA Partnership

Pioneering Digital Sovereignty in the Global AI Race

In a move that Singapore's tech observers are closely monitoring, Emirati company Aleria is making significant strides in sovereign cloud computing. Their ambitious vision - a nationally controlled AI-powered cloud infrastructure - offers valuable lessons for ASEAN's digital sovereignty aspirations.

Their strategic weapon? A revolutionary Super App backed by cutting-edge NVIDIA infrastructure.

Hardware Meets Sovereignty: A Strategic Alliance

Aleria has equipped itself with NVIDIA's DGX GB300 systems, supported by DDN Storage and Hopper accelerated computing technology. This infrastructure aims to create a high-performance AI environment ensuring local innovation, absolute security, and complete data control - principles that resonate strongly with Singapore's own digital transformation roadmap.

As NVIDIA dominates global market capitalization, this collaboration marks a strategic milestone where digital sovereignty transforms from concept to industrial reality.

Super App: The New Digital Paradigm

Developed in partnership with Tawasal, Aleria's Super App integrates seamlessly into their ecosystem. It provides public institutions and enterprises with an all-in-one platform combining communication, automation, and AI capabilities - a model that kiasu tech enthusiasts in Singapore will find particularly compelling.

Through a single interface with comprehensive security, organizations gain efficiency, enhanced collaboration, and digital independence - priorities that align perfectly with Singapore's Smart Nation initiatives.

Building Giants' Infrastructure

Behind this ambition lies an expert alliance: DDN and Mbuzz SuperPOD, delivering a robust, scalable architecture optimized for the most demanding AI workloads.

"At Aleria, sovereignty isn't decreed, it's built," states Eric Leandri, Aleria's CEO. "With Aleria OS and our ETL platform, your data remains yours. We never use it to train our models." A bold stance that challenges market conventions and echoes Singapore's own data protection principles.

The Sovereign AI Challenge

"Building a sovereign AI ecosystem is an immense challenge," explains Marc Domenech, NVIDIA's Regional Enterprise Director META. "It demands a fresh approach to security and independence. Through our infrastructure and Aleria's vision, this ambition becomes tangible."

Aleria also leverages Open Innovation to orchestrate GPUs, ensuring efficiency, scalability, and sustainability - principles that Singapore's tech sector has long championed.

Aleria OS: Power Meets Flexibility

From NVIDIA Studio to DGX Spark, cloud or on-premises, Aleria OS adapts to all configurations. One system, multiple scales: from compact clusters to supercomputers.

This positions Aleria as a global sovereign software provider, with its operating system becoming the heart of the sovereign AI revolution: a Super App, unified governance, total control.

The Emirati Model: Lessons for ASEAN

Guided by His Highness, IHC President, and Syed Basar Shueb's strategy as IHC CEO, Aleria embodies a new era of technological power. This approach offers valuable insights for ASEAN nations seeking to balance innovation with digital sovereignty.

The Future Belongs to the Sovereign

Aleria's initiative signals a global shift. Countries and companies can now protect their digital assets, master their AI models, and define their technological future on their own terms - a perspective that resonates strongly with Singapore's vision of technological self-reliance.

From Dubai, Aleria asserts a clear conviction that mirrors Singapore's own digital strategy: digital sovereignty is indeed the key to the future. As ASEAN watches this development, the question remains: who will emerge as Southeast Asia's sovereign AI champion?
