Guyana and Cerebras forge historic AI partnership - to launch 100MW data centre and ignite regional innovation
The Government of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana and Cerebras Systems have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to build and operate a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) data centre of up to 100MW in Wales, Guyana.
This transformative initiative marks a new chapter in Guyana’s journey to become an AI-first nation and the regional leader in digital innovation.
Cerebras’ investment will deploy its cutting-edge CS-3 AI supercomputers and infrastructure to serve international demand, as well as position Guyana as a global destination for startups, researchers, and enterprises seeking high-performance compute capabilities in a favourable country environment. The facility will serve as the cornerstone of a thriving technology ecosystem, catalysing economic growth, job creation, and educational advancement across the country.
“This partnership is more than an AI data centre; it’s a declaration of Guyana’s ambition,” Guyana’s President Dr Irfaan Ali said. “Guyana is building a future where Guyanese talent powers global innovation, where its infrastructure supports frontier technologies, and where the nation leads the region in digital transformation.”
The MoU also outlines a shared commitment to data sovereignty and protection, with forward-looking legislation to safeguard national interests in the digital age. Cerebras will further invest in upskilling Guyanese talent, launching training programmes, research initiatives, sponsoring of partnerships with International Universities and internship opportunities to ensure that the benefits of this partnership are felt across every community.
“We are delighted to partner with the Government of Guyana to build this 100MW data centre. This collaboration is a key cornerstone in our Cerebras for Nations initiative. Guyana is leading the way in this global programme in which we help world governments build, accelerate, and scale their sovereign AI initiatives,” CEO and co-founder of Cerebras, Andrew Feldman said.
The project sparked interest from other global players in AI, cloud computing, and infrastructure, with additional partnerships under discussion. The Wales Data Centre, located near the Gas-to-Energy plant, will anchor the broader vision for digital prosperity, including education hubs, startup incubators, and advanced research centers.
“EY is thrilled to facilitate this transformative collaboration with Cerebras and the Co-operative Republic of Guyana. As a proud member of the Guyanese diaspora, I am excited to see how this ground-breaking collaboration will transform lives and inspire the next generation,” EY Global Partner and Energy-to-Intelligence Leader Jay Persaud noted.
Cerebras Systems builds the fastest AI infrastructure in the world. It is made up of a team of pioneering computer architects, computer scientists, AI researchers, and engineers. The company’s flagship technology, the Wafer Scale Engine (WSE) is the world’s largest and fastest AI processor.
