This Partnership marks a milestone in Kurdish-Saudi technology cooperation, and the beginning of a broader AI transformation journey for the Kurdistan Region
Erbil, Kurdistan Region-2026/07/01
Allai Newroz Telecom, a leading telecommunications and digital services provider in the Kurdistan Region, and OmniOps, Saudi Arabia’s AI infrastructure technology company, today announced a strategic partnership to launch KI, the first Kurdish conversational AI platform.
The platform is powered by Bunyan, OmniOps’s AI inferencing platform, which is deployed on-premises within Allai Newroz Telecom’s infrastructure. This deployment ensures that AI workloads and data processing remain within the Kurdistan Region, supporting local data control, service reliability, regulatory compliance, and the adoption of sovereign AI capabilities.
KI supports Kurdish, including Sorani, Badini, and Kurmanji dialects, as well as Arabic and English. By addressing a longstanding language gap in artificial intelligence, the platform enables consumers, businesses, and institutions across the Kurdistan Region to access AI-powered services in their preferred language.
Ismail A. Mohammed, Group CEO of Allai Newroz Telecom, said: “Allai Newroz Telecom has always been committed to bringing world-class technology to the Kurdistan Region. With KI, we are taking a significant step beyond technology adoption by building AI capabilities that understand our language, reflect our culture, and serve the needs of our communities. This launch is the beginning of a broader vision to position the Kurdistan Region at the forefront of digital innovation.”
Mohammed Altassan, CEO of OmniOps, said: "Sovereign AI is the foundation of trust. Our work with Allai Newroz demonstrates that advanced AI can be deployed rapidly and locally, without compromising on data control or performance. Together, we are setting a new standard for what AI adoption can look like across the region.”
The launch of KI represents the first major milestone in Allai Newroz Telecom’s broader AI and digital transformation strategy. The company plans to expand AI-powered solutions across its digital ecosystem, introducing new services that enhance customer experiences, support business productivity, and accelerate innovation throughout the Kurdistan Region.
