Craig Tavares, President of BuzzHPC: The Global Contest for AI Sovereignty
Craig Taveras, President and CEO of BuzzHPC, leads a Canadian-owned sovereign GPU cloud provider that constructs power-dense, hydroelectric-powered infrastructure to ensure domestic data control against foreign legal influences like the U.S. Cloud Act. Responding to a 4x increase in rack density and a shift from air to liquid cooling, the company deploys over 300 megawatts of capacity to support high-performance AI workloads while addressing critical national talent retention in Montreal, Toronto, and Alberta. This sovereign approach combines accelerated government funding with strict Protected B compliance to offer enterprises a unified, secure environment for training and hosting applications that traditional cloud providers cannot guarantee.
