Monrovia, Liberia — A Liberian-built AI venture is capturing global attention by empowering governments and public institutions to deploy advanced AI systems while maintaining sovereign control over their data.
Surna Technologies, a sovereign AI and cloud infrastructure company, has secured a spot as a semifinalist in Harvard University’s prestigious President’s Innovation Challenge. The competition highlights the world’s most promising student-led ventures.
The judges selected Surna from thousands of ventures across Harvard’s 13 schools for this year’s challenge.
Surna champions a transformative mission: Africa must control its own full-stack technological architecture.
The company enables secure data ownership and empowers the continent to develop and deploy advanced AI systems itself, rather than outsourcing that critical power to external providers.
