We’re taking our partnership with @meetkaiinc to the next level - exploring new ways to bring sovereign AI to our markets.
The MoU signed at @MWCHub Barcelona builds on our earlier collaboration on national AI capabilities. Together, we aim to accelerate secure, in‑country AI ecosystems that respect data residency, align with local governance, and enable rapid deployment of meaningful digital services.
By combining VEON’s strong local presence and AI‑driven user experience expertise with MeetKai’s sovereign AI platform, local language models, and MeetKai Energy’s infrastructure know‑how, we’re shaping solutions that can scale responsibly and deliver real value to the communities we serve.
This is another step in our commitment to inclusive digital growth - ensuring augmented intelligence reflects local cultures, needs, and ambitions.
