Azerbaijan approved an AI strategy for 2025 to 2028 that calls for high-performance computing, and moves state systems onto a Government Cloud run from Baku and Yevlakh.

The state digital agency reported on 19 March 2025 that the President had approved the Artificial Intelligence Strategy for 2025 to 2028, and says it provides for high-performance computing resources, open data platforms and a National Data Strategy. Since a 2019 presidential decree, state bodies have moved IT systems to a Government Cloud operated by AzInTelecom, in data centres in Baku and Yevlakh. For someone seeking compute, public capacity is aimed at government users and we found no open research compute programme.

AI policy and activity

The 2025 to 2028 strategy covers HPC, open data, natural language processing and preferential loans for AI businesses, according to the Innovation and Digital Development Agency.
