Secure and Sovereign AI Infrastructure
AI infrastructure that is secure by design and sovereign at every layer, enabling trusted deployment across critical sectors.
The security and sovereignty gap in AI
AI now underpins defence, healthcare, finance, energy, and governance. Yet today’s AI and cloud stacks are secured largely by contracts, policies, and external trust. Core assets such as compute, data, model integrity, and compliance often sit outside national authority, creating strategic dependencies and expanding the attack surface.
For any sovereign state, digital sovereignty and national security now depend on owning and controlling the foundations of AI itself. That requires infrastructure that is secure, technically enforceable, and sovereign by design without sacrificing access to world-class technology.
At SPARC we believe that the opportunity lies at the intersection of agentic AI and new security primitives such as confidential computing. Agentic systems can act, reason, and coordinate autonomously at scale. Confidential computing can cryptographically constrain what they see, what they do, and who can control them. Together, they enable AI that is powerful, autonomous and still sovereign.
SPARC’s Secure and Sovereign AI Infrastructure research is built on this foundation, embedding security, privacy, and sovereignty directly into the architecture of AI systems.
Secure and sovereign AI must be built into technology – not added through policy or trust.
Research focus
Scalable trust infrastructure for agentic AI
Build protocols, safety mechanisms, and evaluation frameworks that allow autonomous agents across organizations to collaborate securely and compliantly.
Virtual sovereign
clouds
Enable sovereign workloads to run anywhere, including on public clouds, with cryptographic assurance and minimal trust in providers.
Sovereign confidential
AI hardware
Design CPUs, NPUs, HSMs and accelerators with sovereign roots of trust, confidential execution, and transparent, auditable supply chains.
Let’s build AI infrastructure that is secure, verifiable, and sovereign by design.
