About
Built by the disciplines this problem requires.
DAI Compute is the procurement place for Canadian energy and AI compute capacity, and the first vehicle in a programme called Sovereign Energy and AI Infrastructure Canada.
Why us
Procurement, capacity, and financial governance.
The founding pair combines renewable energy software and distributed energy management, futures research and strategic foresight, and four decades of financial governance and network.
We work with initiatives such as Canada2080 to help inform how capital invests and deploys into Canadian energy and compute. Capacity is managed by DAI Compute with qualified suppliers and operators. Affiliated companies are not named as public partners on this site.

Origin
It started with a dependence problem.
DAI Compute began with a problem Francis Wang kept running into: Canada is structurally dependent on foreign-operated infrastructure for much of its AI economy. Even data centres on Canadian soil can raise control and jurisdiction questions when the operating entity is foreign-linked.
The response is a procurement and capacity platform that lets Canadians finance (through financial partners) and buy energy and compute on Canadian soil under Canadian law, with capacity managed by DAI Compute.
