Sovereign AI
Empowering Nations Through Sovereign AI
International Relations Support is an essential function of Government Support, designed to foster cross-border collaboration, partnerships, and global cooperation in the development of digital infrastructure and the digital economy. In an increasingly interconnected world, international collaboration is critical to building scalable, resilient, and harmonized digital ecosystems.
According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), over 70% of digital economy initiatives launched between 2020 and 2023 involved some form of international partnership. Government Support plays a crucial role in facilitating these collaborations by providing strategic guidance, governance frameworks, and stakeholder coordination.
