Summary
On 25 September 2026, MeetKai announced the deployment of its MK-A1 SOVIA sovereign AI platform in six countries (Brazil, Ukraine, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh), built entirely on NVIDIA infrastructure. In Brazil, MeetKai Brasil won the public tender of SERPRO, the federal government's IT company, to deploy locally trained models and a sovereign coding agent. In the other five countries, MeetKai acts as AI lab for the telecom operator VEON, starting with Kyivstar in Ukraine, where an AI data centre of 15 to 100 MW is due to come into service in 2027 to serve the government, banks and critical infrastructure. According to MeetKai, these markets bring together more than 700 million people, and the deployments target ministries, energy operators, banks and companies.
