Initial projects are planned in Malaysia, Belgium and Romania
GMI Cloud, a leader in AI-native GPU cloud infrastructure, has announced a strategic partnership with Magna AI Inc. to jointly architect, deploy and scale a global network of sovereign AI Factories (AIFs), with the initial wave of projects architected around NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72.
Magna AI, Inc. is a new sovereign AI company born from a partnership between Trend Micro and Wistron Digital Technology Holding Company (WDH). Collaborating with NVIDIA, the companies will build and deploy sovereign AI infrastructure, including AI factories, GPU cloud services, and AI security solutions, across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
With confirmed projects breaking ground in Malaysia, Belgium, and Romania later this year, both companies have initiated joint planning activities covering site evaluation, infrastructure architecture, sovereign compliance requirements, and phased deployment models.
Trusted partner
“GMI Cloud’s mission is to be the trusted partner for governments in architecting, building, and operating this critical infrastructure. We provide the foundation for them to protect and secure their competitive future,” noted Alex Yeh, CEO, GMI Cloud.
“By combining GMI Cloud’s AI-native platforms with Magna AI’s sovereign value-chain AI infrastructure, we are enabling nations to move faster from strategy to execution by deploying AI systems that are secure, resilient, and built for long-term economic and technological independence,” emphasized Dr. Moataz Binali, CEO, Magna AI.
Experience and collaboration
“With over 37 years of cybersecurity expertise, Trend Micro brings deep experience to this collaboration, helping secure these AI Factories from the ground up, protect critical data and AI workloads, and reduce risk exposure through advanced threat intelligence. This enables nations to scale AI with control, regulatory compliance, and long-term resilience,” observed Oscar Chang, Executive Vice President Research & Development at Trend Micro.
“This collaboration further solidifies our long-term strategic positioning in the AI infrastructure landscape,” added Robert Hwang, Chairman, WDH.
