Queen’s University and Simon Fraser University have signed a memorandum of understanding focused on the creation of a secure, made-in-Canada supercomputing system. This system would keep Canadian data and intellectual property in Canada, while providing high-performance computing services to academia, government, and industry. The partnership will also involve Bell Canada, which will help to develop the supercomputing facility in Ontario and expand capacity in British Columbia. The two partners have also indicated their intent to apply to the AI Sovereign Compute Infrastructure Program when it launches in 2026: Business In Vancouver reports that they will be seeking $900M in support.
