On February 27th, 2025, the Government of Canada announced the launch of a two-stage proposal process for the $705M Canadian Sovereign AI Compute Infrastructure Program. As the Federally-funded coordinating body for Digital Research Infrastructure in Canada, the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (“the Alliance”) is pleased to be submitting its statement of intent through this process to share our vision for sovereign compute in Canada.
As a valued member of the Canadian Digital Research Infrastructure ecosystem, your feedback is valuable to us. As such, the Alliance will be hosting three virtual sessions with academic, industry, and government stakeholders from across the country over the next few weeks.
These sessions are designed to share our vision for Canada, gather valuable insights and identify opportunities for future collaboration.
