Freedom Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: FRHC) announced on Monday, October 26, 2026, new steps in its artificial intelligence infrastructure program in Kazakhstan, including the development of a $2 billion Sovereign AI Hub and the planned launch of its first public GPU cloud in 2027. The news is CONFIRMED: the announcement was made in an official statement carried by PR Newswire and reported the same day by Unite.AI and Dealroom.
The hub is being developed under an agreement signed in November 2025 with Kazakhstan's Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development. The project envisages a site with 100 MW of available power, and Freedom will act as the principal financing and implementation partner and will operate the hub.
The planned infrastructure is intended to support AI model training, large-scale data processing, and the development of AI services for business and government. According to the company, access to shared computing resources lets organizations develop and run applications without building their own server infrastructure.
What arrives in 2027
In 2027, Freedom plans to open its first GPU cluster to customers as a public cloud, providing computing capacity for AI workloads to businesses and developers. The company is also developing the Freedom AI Super Cluster, aimed at government, business, and science, with its first phase planned for the first quarter of 2027.
A new Freedom Cloud data center is under construction near Almaty. According to the company, Freedom Cloud already serves more than 3,400 business and public-sector clients.
What is still a company statement
CEO Timur Turlov said demand already stands at twice the planned capacity of the hub's first stage, and that major prospective clients have shown willingness to lease future capacity for five years. This is a company STATEMENT, not independently verified data, and the statement does not detail the project's full financing or name a chip supplier for the hub.
On October 23, Turlov met Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, in Astana during Huang's first visit to Kazakhstan, and presented Freedom's technology ecosystem and its AI infrastructure plans.
