BUZZ HPC joins Bell Canada and Cohere to build Canada’s sovereign AI infrastructure platform

Hive Digital Technologies’ subsidiary BUZZ HPC CEO Craig Tavares joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a landmark partnership with Bell Canada and Cohere that aims to establish one of Canada's most significant sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure platforms. Tavares explained that the collaboration combines Bell AI Fabric’s national connectivity and data centre network, Cohere’s enterprise-grade large language models and AI software, and BUZZ HPC’s NVIDIA-powered GPU cloud infrastructure into a fully integrated Canadian AI ecosystem designed for enterprise and government customers. As part of the agreement, BUZZ HPC will deploy its sovereign AI cloud and GPU cluster infrastructure at Bell’s purpose-built AI facility in Merritt, British Columbia. The high-performance computing platform will provide the processing power required to support Cohere’s AI models and enterprise solutions while ensuring data remains within Canadian borders. Tavares noted that the partnership directly aligns with Canada’s national AI strategy, which emphasizes technology sovereignty, domestic infrastructure, and secure control of Canadian data. By combining Canadian connectivity, Canadian compute resources, and Canadian-developed AI models, the platform is designed to provide a secure, production-ready AI environment for organizations operating under Canadian regulatory standards. The infrastructure will be powered by renewable energy and built with ultra-low power usage effectiveness (PUE), supporting large-scale AI training and inference workloads while maintaining high operational efficiency. Management believes the partnership further strengthens BUZZ HPC’s position as a leading sovereign AI cloud provider in Canada. Together, Bell, Cohere, and BUZZ HPC are creating a comprehensive platform that integrates connectivity, data centres, compute infrastructure, cybersecurity, and professional services into a unified national AI ecosystem. For government agencies and enterprise customers, the platform offers enhanced control over data sovereignty, AI model security, governance, and performance, while ensuring critical AI infrastructure remains entirely under Canadian jurisdiction #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #AIInfrastructure #buzzhpc #HighPerformanceComputing #HPC #CloudComputing #DataCenters #BellCanada #Cohere #AIInfrastructure #NVIDIA #CloudComputing #CanadianTechnology
