en.Wedoany.com Reported - Montreal, June 18, 2026 – Bell Canada, Cohere, Hypertec, and BUZZ High-Performance Computing (BUZZ HPC, a subsidiary of Hive Digital Technologies) have announced a collaboration agreement to develop and deploy advanced infrastructure and artificial intelligence workloads on Canadian sovereign infrastructure.

The partners will integrate Bell AI Fabric's data center and connectivity foundation, Cohere's secure enterprise-grade AI solutions and large language model capabilities, and BUZZ HPC's scalable accelerated computing infrastructure built on Hypertec's Canadian-manufactured hardware. This infrastructure is powered by NVIDIA's DSX AI factory platform.

Bell will provide data center capacity and connectivity services from its facility in Merritt, British Columbia, purpose-built for advanced AI workloads. BUZZ HPC will deliver an AI-native cloud layer using Hypertec's Canadian-manufactured hardware clusters and NVIDIA accelerated computing, while Cohere will leverage the platform to operate foundation models and provide enterprise-grade AI solutions for government and commercial clients.

This collaboration aims to strengthen digital sovereignty and economic resilience by conducting critical AI research and development using Canadian infrastructure and in partnership with Canadian collaborators. As organizations transition from AI experimentation to large-scale deployment, demand for high-performance infrastructure continues to grow to support domestic AI capabilities and enhance control over data, performance, and security.

Building on previously announced partnerships, this agreement further reinforces Bell AI Fabric's role in supporting sovereign AI by integrating connectivity, data centers, computing, professional services, and cybersecurity into a unified platform. Bell AI Fabric, Cohere, Hypertec, and BUZZ HPC will support clients seeking high-performance Canadian AI stacks.

Michel Richer, President of Bell AI Fabric, stated that this agreement helps bridge the gap in Canada's AI talent and innovation. Michael Pelosi, Country Manager for Cohere Canada, noted that the collaboration ensures advanced AI is deployed on infrastructure reflecting Canadian priorities. Don Schlidt, President of HPC & AI and HCM at Hypertec, said Hypertec provides industry-leading AI server platforms and optimized architectures. Craig Tavares, President of BUZZ HPC, remarked that the partnership offers a comprehensive capability previously unavailable in Canada: Bell's national platform, Cohere's enterprise AI models, Hypertec's Canadian-manufactured GPU servers, and BUZZ's sovereign AI cloud. The Honourable Evan Solomon, Minister of AI and Digital Innovation, stated that this collaboration connects infrastructure, computing, and advanced AI capabilities, helping strengthen Canada's data control and innovation, ensuring economic growth, jobs, and intellectual property remain domestic, thereby reinforcing Canada's position in the rapidly evolving global landscape.
