Blaize and Nokia Advance Collaboration with Joint AI Solution Showcase at GITEX Asia
EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. and SINGAPORE, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blaize Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BZAI, NASDAQ:BZAIW) ("Blaize"), a global leader in programmable, energy efficient AI computing, today announced the next phase of its collaboration with Nokia regarding joint validation and ecosystem engagement across Asia Pacific.
Blaize and Nokia are progressing their collaboration through the Nokia Network Innovation Lab in Singapore, designed to support the development, integration, and validation of hybrid AI infrastructure solutions combining Blaize's AI platform with Nokia's networking and infrastructure capabilities.
As part of this next phase, the companies are advancing a joint reference architecture — a pre-integrated, validated solution framework that combines Blaize's AI platform with Nokia's networking and infrastructure capabilities. The reference is intended to support real-world deployment scenarios across edge and data center environments, providing a foundation for evaluation, integration, and ecosystem collaboration.
The collaboration will be highlighted at GITEX Asia 2026 (April 9–10, Singapore), where Blaize and Nokia will jointly showcase their combined capabilities through demonstrations, ecosystem engagement, and participation in industry discussions focused on next-generation AI infrastructure.
The joint engagement at GITEX Asia is expected to include:
- Joint solution showcase, demonstrating hybrid AI deployments across edge and data center environments
- Innovation Lab introduction, outlining the framework for ongoing validation and ecosystem collaboration
- Joint thought leadership participation, including panel discussions on AI infrastructure and edge computing
- Engagement with enterprises, governments, cloud service providers, and data center operators across Asia-Pacific
These initiatives are part of ongoing engagement efforts to evaluate how hybrid AI architectures can be applied to real-world environments where latency, power efficiency, and scalability are critical.
"This next phase reflects continued progress in our collaboration with Nokia across Asia-Pacific," said Joseph Sulistyo, Senior Vice President of Corporate Marketing at Blaize. "Through the Innovation Lab and joint solution efforts, we are focused on validating how hybrid AI infrastructure can support real-world applications and enable scalable deployment models across the region."
"Our collaboration with Blaize continues to evolve as we engage with customers and ecosystem partners across Asia-Pacific," said Dion Leung, Head of AI and Cloud, Asia Pacific at Nokia. "By combining networking infrastructure with AI inference platforms, we are exploring new approaches to support AI workloads across distributed environments."
