Key takeaways
Indra: Sovereign AI for Spanish and Canadian Markets
The partnership will be implemented through IndraMind, the group’s technological initiative focused on deploying sovereign intelligence for the protection of critical assets.
The MOU forms part of a cooperation framework promoted by the Governments of Canada and Spain to promote bilateral agreements in technology and sovereign AI and boost economic activity involving the two countries. It was signed in Canada during the institutional visit headed by His Majesty King Felipe VI and Carlos Cuerpo, First Vice-President of the Government and Minister of Economy, Trade and Business, together with a delegation of strategic companies.
Within the above framework, Cohere will work together with IndraMind and leading local companies to promote a unique ecosystem of collaboration and innovation. Upon this basis, IndraMind will contribute sovereign computing and data management capabilities, while Cohere will provide sovereign large language models (LLMs). Moreover, the partnership envisages the development of additional capabilities adapted to the official languages of Spain (Castilian Spanish, Catalan, Valencian, Basque, and Galician), as well as Cohere’s integration into IndraMind’s intelligence ecosystem.
In addition, the development of an AI platform geared towards enterprises is planned, with a view to open up new commercial opportunities between regions. The MOU also incorporates a line of cooperation in defence aimed at developing and implementing solutions that can contribute to improving analysis, mission-planning, and interoperability during multinational exercises and operations.
Multiverse Computing: Optimizing AI for the Future
Cohere has also established an MOU with Multiverse Computing’s - a Spain-based leader in quantum-inspired AI optimization - Canadian entity. Through this partnership, both parties will explore and pursue commercial collaboration opportunities in Europe and Canada, including projects that may be supported by the Canada–Spain bilateral cooperation framework.
Both parties will share a commitment to expanding their presence and driving revenue growth across each other’s home markets, while demonstrating how Canadian and European AI companies can work together to deliver sovereign, enterprise-grade AI solutions. The collaboration is designed to support the economic and strategic priorities of both regions through tangible, deployed projects.
"Enterprises no longer want to rent AI — they want to own it. Our partnerships with Indra Group and Multiverse Computing are designed to deliver true digital sovereignty, giving organizations full control over performance, data access, and deployment. Cohere brings AI to wherever data actually lives — across cloud, VPC, on‑premises, and even fully airgapped environments. This isn’t just a technological shift; it’s about empowering governments and companies with the independence they need to compete and thrive across Europe, Canada, and beyond."
