A coalition of aligned democracies, who pool research, talent, compute, and procurement power, would offer a credible alternative to the dominant market actors that increasingly define the global AI landscape. Canada is uniquely positioned to lead such an alliance – with proven and emerging capabilities that complement and reinforce those of key middle powers. In February 2026, Canada and Germany launched the Sovereign Technology Alliance, an initiative that will deepen collaboration with trusted allies to use common AI models, share digital infrastructure, access capital, and participate in joint research.
