The initial deployments will be centered around the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72™ architecture, with groundbreaking confirmed in Malaysia, Belgium, and Romania.
Global demand for sovereign AI infrastructure is growing rapidly, driven by increased national investment in AI independence, regional digital transformation, and the need for secure, high-performance AI computing power. According to McKinsey research, global AI spending could reach between $1.3 trillion and $1.5 trillion by 2030. Magna AI Inc. is a sovereign AI company formed through a partnership between Trend Micro™ and Wistron Digital Technology Holding (WDH). GMI Cloud provides AI-native GPU cloud infrastructure. The two parties have initiated joint planning activities in the aforementioned regions, covering site evaluation, infrastructure architecture, sovereign compliance requirements, and phased deployment models, with plans to finalize additional locations in Africa and the Middle East.
This collaboration introduces a unique "AI Transformation Factory" model, offering a comprehensive, secure, and vertically integrated solution. The model integrates Trend Micro™'s over 37 years of cybersecurity leadership to protect sensitive national data and mission-critical AI workloads; WDH's expertise in hardware manufacturing and system integration; GMI Cloud's experience in designing and operating AI-native GPU cloud infrastructure optimized for large-scale inference, sovereign AI deployments, and next-generation AI factories; and Magna AI's end-to-end sovereign AI adoption model covering strategy, engineering, integration, and operations, supporting inference-scale AI workloads, agentic AI systems, and national AI platforms.
Alex Yeh, CEO of GMI Cloud, stated that a nation's prosperity and security are threatened if it cannot control its digital destiny, making sovereign AI a non-negotiable component of modern statecraft. GMI Cloud is committed to being a trusted partner for countries in designing, building, and operating this critical infrastructure. Dr. Moataz Binali, CEO of Magna AI, noted that by combining GMI Cloud's AI-native platform with Magna AI's sovereign value chain AI infrastructure, countries can move faster from strategy to execution, deploying secure, resilient AI systems designed for long-term economic and technological independence. Oscar Chang, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D at Trend Micro™, stated that their over 37 years of cybersecurity expertise will help protect these AI factories from the ground up, reducing risk exposure through advanced threat intelligence, enabling countries to scale AI with control, regulatory compliance, and long-term resilience. Robert Hwang, Chairman of WDH, mentioned that this collaboration helps build a robust AI computing ecosystem, empowering startups and end users in Asia.
According to information, Silicon Valley-based GMI Cloud provides full-stack inference-first AI infrastructure with proven experience deploying across multiple continents and regulatory environments.
