Sovereign AI Takes Center Stage at GITEX Global 2025

Sovereign AI is set to become a defining theme at GITEX Global 2025, where Open Innovation AI will showcase its trusted, production-ready platforms designed to help organizations accelerate their artificial intelligence initiatives. The event, scheduled for October 13-17 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, will highlight how businesses and government bodies can achieve faster time-to-AI while maintaining essential standards of security, scalability, and national sovereignty.

In collaboration with industry leaders including e&, Dell Technologies, Intel, Cisco, Pure Storage, and SUSE, Open Innovation AI will demonstrate comprehensive solutions that address the full AI lifecycle, from GPU orchestration to enterprise-grade application suites. Dr. Rachid Belmeskine, Co-Founder and CTO of Open Innovation AI, will join a panel discussion with SUSE focused on accelerating AI infrastructure orchestration using Rancher and the Open Innovation Cluster Manager (OICM).

Dr. Abed Benaichouche, Co-Founder and CEO of Open Innovation AI, emphasized the growing demand for sovereign AI infrastructure. “Artificial intelligence has moved well beyond experimental phases into large-scale, real-world implementation,” he noted. “Today, both enterprises and governments require secure, high-performance AI systems that ensure data privacy, model ownership, and national oversight. This evolution is ushering in a new generation of AI-optimized infrastructure where performance, efficiency, and sustainability are just as important as algorithmic accuracy.”

Open Innovation AI’s presence at GITEX aims to illustrate how various sectors, including government agencies, telecommunications providers, cloud service providers, and large enterprises, can construct and expand sovereign AI ecosystems. By partnering with global technology providers, these organizations can leverage a unified, dependable platform to support their AI ambitions.

Dr. Belmeskine pointed to several common obstacles that hinder AI adoption. “Many organizations face fragmented infrastructure, forcing IT teams to integrate multiple clusters and tools manually. Underutilized GPUs can waste up to 40% of computing capacity, driving up expenses and delaying project timelines. Compliance restrictions often limit data processing in public cloud environments, and vendor lock-in reduces operational flexibility. Our company was established to tackle these issues comprehensively.”

At the exhibition, Open Innovation AI will present its integrated platforms, OICM, OI Agents, OI Code, and OI Chat, which together enable sovereign AI by giving organizations complete authority over their data, models, and infrastructure. This approach not only boosts operational efficiency but also ensures independence from external providers, allowing companies to transition AI projects from pilot testing to full-scale production.

A limited number of private technical sessions will be available at GITEX, where the Open Innovation AI team will provide detailed demonstrations of their sovereign AI stack. Attendees can learn how these solutions enhance GPU efficiency to cut costs, speed up the deployment of large language models and AI agents, maintain compliance across diverse infrastructures, and deliver a clear roadmap from prototype to live production.

Visitors can connect with senior executives and technical specialists from Open Innovation AI at several partner exhibition spaces, including e& in Hall 1, SUSE at Booth C30 in Hall 8, Pure Storage at Booth B30 in Hall 5, and the Dell/Intel booth A10 in Hall H6.
