en.Wedoany.com Reported - Freedom Telecom International and Nokia have jointly established an innovation center in Silicon Valley, focusing on next-generation digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, cloud technology, advanced connectivity, and the convergence of telecommunications and fintech.

Located near Nokia's Sunnyvale campus, the center will serve as a testing ground for joint projects between Freedom Holding Corp., Freedom Telecom International, Freedom Lifestyle Group, and Nokia, where teams can collaboratively experiment, build, test, evaluate, and showcase digital solutions developed for direct application in FRHC's operational domains.

This partnership combines Nokia's expertise in networking, cloud, edge computing, and AI-ready infrastructure with Freedom Holding Corp.'s expanding ecosystem in finance, banking, insurance, telecommunications, payments, e-commerce, and lifestyle services, to jointly discover and develop promising next-generation digital infrastructure solutions. Initial focus will be on AI data center blueprints, cloud infrastructure and advanced networking, 5G, and edge use cases to enable AI-driven consumer services.

Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the center will bring together Nokia's infrastructure, engineering expertise, global innovation network, and technology test platforms; Freedom's ecosystem, market access, investment capabilities, and experience in scaling digital financial and lifestyle services; and the unique dynamism of Silicon Valley, including close ties with all technology partners, world-class entrepreneurs, and tech talent.

This initiative echoes Kazakhstan's vision of becoming an AI hub in Central Asia by leveraging its own cloud infrastructure and next-generation computing capabilities. Earlier this year, Freedom Holding Corp., together with the Government of Kazakhstan and NVIDIA, announced plans to build a 100-megawatt sovereign AI hub aimed at supporting national AI models, R&D, an AI academy, and a new technology laboratory.

At the opening ceremony, Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom Holding Corp., said that financial services present a massive global opportunity due to inefficiencies, with too much time, energy, and human capital invested in processes that could already be automated. He noted that the company has proven it is possible to approve a mortgage within hours, which encourages a complete rethink of the role of traditional structures. AI broadens the horizon, enabling the handling of complex processes and redesigning and assisting them with AI capabilities. He trusts Nokia, and that joint efforts can turn ideas into scalable solutions that benefit the ecosystem.

Mikko Lavanti, President of Nokia for the Middle East and Africa, stated that this partnership aims to jointly deliver tangible value. Nokia has deep expertise in designing and deploying large-scale, high-performance AI infrastructure and a strong track record of innovation. Nokia is proud to support Freedom in launching the most advanced consumer applications in its markets, accelerating its AI vision through resilient and future-proof infrastructure.
