01 · Problem

The Compute Sovereignty Crisis

Saudi AI teams are forced to choose between foreign hyperscalers and CPU-only local hosts. Neither works.

Latency

Hyperscaler GPU capacity sits in foreign regions: 80 to 150 ms round-trip to Riyadh enterprises.

Data Residency

PDPL violations occur when training runs cross borders. Personal data cannot legally leave the Kingdom.

No Local GPU

Local providers run CPU-only fleets: zero A100s, zero H100s, no InfiniBand, no GPU-aware scheduling.

Access Friction

Multi-week GPU quota queues, egress fees up to $0.09/GB, and no sovereign inference runtime layer.

02 · Platform

The Nawa Platform

Full-stack sovereign compute. All layers hosted in Tier III data centers in Riyadh with single-digit millisecond latency to enterprise networks.

Competitive Edge

Four structural advantages no hyperscaler or legacy host can replicate locally.

Sovereignty by Architecture

Every byte stays in the Kingdom: a technical guarantee enforced at the storage, key management, and network layer.

GPU-First Fleet

Purpose-built for training and inference workloads, not retrofitted from general-purpose hosting.

Arabic-Native Stack

Console, docs, and support in Arabic. SAR pricing. Native Jais and AceGPT inference endpoints out of the box.

Developer Velocity

Signup to a running Arabic LLM endpoint in under 5 minutes. API-first provisioning in under 90 seconds.

07 · Execution

Roadmap and Founder

Three phases from launch to Kingdom-wide AI infrastructure.

1

Launch

GPU VPS and Inference Engine live in Riyadh. API-first onboarding, token billing, Arabic LLM endpoints.

2

Enterprise

Reserved capacity contracts. Managed Kubernetes general availability with PDPL-compliant storage.

3

Scale

Second availability zone in the Kingdom. Arabic AI Model Marketplace for curated regional LLMs.

م

Mohammed Abdulh Syed

Founder and CEO

Technology entrepreneur with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, virtualization, and hosting operations at enterprise scale. Building the Kingdom's default AI infrastructure layer from Riyadh.

Train on Saudi Soil

Early access is open for Saudi AI teams, enterprises, and research labs. Reserve GPU capacity before general availability.
