COMPUTE01
100MWNational compute
Guyana has committed to an AI data center of up to 100MW at Wales, with operations targeted for 2027.
AI readiness for Guyana
Guyana is building the compute.
We build the readiness.
GuyaNetix helps the Government of Guyana turn national AI ambition into governed, staffed, working systems. Guyanese-led, globally built.
Why now / 01
Infrastructure alone does not create public value.
The national opportunity is real. So is the readiness gap.
STRATEGY02
01Strategy gap
Guyana has no adopted national AI strategy.
GOVERNANCE03
2023Data protection
The Data Protection Act 2023 is on the books, with its enforcement office not yet operational.
REGION04
1Regional readiness
Across CARICOM, only one country currently ranks in the global top 100 for government AI readiness.
Compute arrives in 2027.
Readiness has to arrive first.
What we do / 02
From national ambition to institutional capability.
Three connected systems. One national readiness agenda.
01
Strategy and Governance
Build the rules, institutions and accountability needed for trusted national AI adoption.
- National AI strategy
- AI policy and ethics frameworks
- Data protection operationalization
- Institutional design and oversight structures
02
Ministry Readiness
Turn institutional priorities into focused, sequenced and implementable AI programs.
- Agency-level AI readiness assessment
- Use case identification and prioritization
- Service redesign
- Implementation roadmaps
03
Workforce and Training
Equip leaders and public servants to govern, procure and apply AI with confidence.
- Executive briefings for ministers and permanent secretaries
- Role-based training for public servants
- Train-the-trainer certification
- Practitioner bootcamps
How we work / 03
A practical path from readiness to ownership.
01
Assess
Establish the institutional baseline, constraints and highest-value opportunities.
02
Design
Shape policy, operating models and programs around Guyana’s context.
03
Build
Move priority initiatives from concept into practical implementation.
04
Transfer
Embed the skills, tools and ownership required to sustain progress locally.
We build for transfer from day one, so capability stays in-country when we leave.
LOCAL OWNERSHIP / SYSTEM PRINCIPLEWho we are / 04
Built for consequential work.
A Guyanese-led team combining public sector, engineering, energy and AI implementation experience, partnered with OptimaNova AI, a Washington DC AI consulting firm.
