IOPn Partners with Gewan Holding to Accelerate Sovereign AI and Blockchain Infrastructure
Strategic investment reinforces our mission to build the foundation for digital sovereignty
We're thrilled to announce a landmark partnership with Gewan Holding, part of Abu Dhabi's NG9 Holding conglomerate, marking a transformative milestone in our journey to pioneer decentralized infrastructure for sovereign AI and blockchain solutions.
Building the Future of Sovereign Digital Infrastructure
This partnership represents more than just an investment, it's a shared vision for the future of sovereign AI and blockchain technology. Together with Gewan Holding, we're accelerating the development of infrastructure that empowers governments, enterprises, and citizens to operate in secure, compliant, and future-proof digital environments.
The OPN Chain: Our Foundation for Digital Sovereignty
At the heart of our ecosystem lies the OPN Chain, our flagship decentralized infrastructure that combines:
High-performance AI computing powered by NVIDIA GPUs
Sovereign digital identity layer ensuring secure, compliant operations
Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization capabilities
Modern payment infrastructures with biometric authentication
Cross-industry applications spanning governance, finance, healthcare, and real estate
This unique sovereign AI stack represents a first-of-its-kind model that strengthens digital trust, unlocks liquidity, and provides regulated access to global capital markets.
Project ATLAS: Pioneering AI Infrastructure
One of our flagship initiatives under this partnership is Project ATLAS (Advanced Tokenized Liquid-cooled AI Stack), developed in collaboration with Betabytes, an official NVIDIA Cloud Partner. This NVIDIA-powered AI data center will provide sovereign-grade AI infrastructure, setting new standards for performance and security in the region.
Beyond Technology: Building Ecosystem and Talent
Our vision extends far beyond infrastructure. This partnership encompasses:
Digital financial infrastructure development
Real-world asset tokenization frameworks
AI Academy & AI Factory programs designed to build national talent capacity
Cross-border innovation initiatives
Leadership Perspectives
"The OPN Chain is the cornerstone of our vision, anchoring sovereign identity, financial infrastructure, real-world asset tokenization, and AI-driven innovation within a unified ecosystem," said Mojtaba Asadian, our Co-Founder & CEO. "With NG9 Holding's partnership and initiatives such as Project ATLAS, we are not simply building technology; we are establishing sovereign-grade digital infrastructure where governments and enterprises can harness the full potential of AI and Web3 on their own terms, secure, compliant, and free from dependency."
Looking Ahead
This collaboration positions not just IOPn, but the entire UAE as a gateway for sovereign AI and blockchain adoption. We're creating scalable solutions that can be replicated globally, unlocking new investment pathways through tokenized infrastructure and RWAs.
In the coming months, we'll be announcing further initiatives under Project ATLAS and beyond. This is just the beginning of our journey to reshape how nations and enterprises approach digital sovereignty and innovation.
Join Us in Building the Future
As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we invite governments, enterprises, and innovators to explore how IOPn's sovereign AI and blockchain infrastructure can transform their digital strategies. Together, we're not just adapting to the future, we're creating it.
Stay tuned for more updates on our progress and upcoming initiatives.
