The global demand for AI compute is outpacing supply.

For Canada, the question is whether the country will build its own infrastructure or depend on foreign hyperscalers to power its AI future.

Craig Tavares, President and COO of BUZZ HPC, has spent 20+ years building digital infrastructure across telecom, cloud, energy, and hyperscale environments, from Cogeco and Aptum to Apple and the co-founding of one of North America's first HPC data centers connected directly to a power plant.

Now he leads BUZZ HPC, one of Canada's first and few sovereign AI cloud platforms operating at scale, delivering NVIDIA-accelerated GPU compute to enterprises, researchers, and public institutions at a fraction of hyperscaler costs.

In this keynote from ALL IN 2025, Craig lays out what sovereign AI infrastructure actually looks like in production: the partnerships powering it (Bell Canada, NVIDIA, VAST Data), the engineering required to convert energy assets into Tier-3 AI factories, and why Canada's path to AI competitiveness runs through domestic compute, renewable power, and operational discipline.
