Nepal's first Sovereign AI Compute Centre to be established in Sychutar, Kathmandu. Thousands of AI processing units (GPUs) procured. Startups and researchers get concessional access. Powered by Nepal's clean hydropower.

What Is This Centre?

Most countries fall behind in AI because they lack GPU computing infrastructure. Nepal's Sovereign AI Compute Centre provides this at national level — enabling Nepali developers to build, train, and deploy AI models without expensive foreign cloud costs (AWS/Google Cloud in USD).

नेपालको पहिलो सार्वभौम AI कम्प्युट केन्द्र श्यचुटार, काठमाडौंमा। हजारौं GPU युनिट। स्टार्टअपलाई सहुलियत। जलविद्युतबाट सञ्चालन।

नेपाललाई किन चाहिन्छ?

  • विदेशी cloud (USD मा) को सट्टा स्थानीय AI कम्प्युट NPR मा
  • डेटा नेपालमै राख्न सकिन्छ — डेटा सार्वभौमिकता
  • IT निर्यात अर्थतन्त्रको आधार — 50% कर छुटसँग जोडिएको
  • विदेश जाने युवाहरूलाई नेपालमै अवसर

IT निर्यात ५०% कर छुटसँगै: यहाँको compute प्रयोग → विश्वभर निर्यात → आधा दरमा मात्र कर।
