Today, I’m very excited to announce the launch of the OpenText and TELUS Canadian AI Sovereign Cloud! This move is a bold and important step in our country’s AI journey, giving Canadian businesses, communities, and organizations the AI tools they need to compete globally while keeping their most valuable asset – their data – right here at home in Canada, supported by two leading Canadian technology companies. Built in our secure facilities in Kamloops, BC and Rimouski, Quebec, this solution means: ✅ Small businesses can access enterprise-grade AI without compromising on security ✅ Local governments can innovate while meeting strict privacy requirements ✅ Canadian organizations can scale globally with confidence ✅ Our communities get the economic benefits of homegrown innovation As early signatories of Canada's AI code of conduct, both OpenText and TELUS have always believed that Canadian ingenuity can lead the world. When Canadian businesses thrive, our communities thrive, and Canada thrives. That's the power of sovereign innovation, and at TELUS, we’re always building Canada.
