Our central vision is a neocloud and a biolab: renewable-powered compute that keeps intelligence close to the people it serves, and robotic science that brings discovery closer to care. Built in Kenya, with a path to locally governed infrastructure across Africa.

A new kind of cloud.

THE PAWANAX NEOCLOUD VISION

A modular AI cloud, starting in Kenya. Renewable energy below it. Open models inside it. Designed to keep each country’s data within its borders.

Future concept of a modular Kenyan compute and biology research campus with solar canopies and warm-lit server racks
KENYA / A CAMPUS FOR POSSIBILITYARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT · NOT AN EXISTING FACILITY
Built around energy.
Scaled around real demand.
01

Power before scale.

Solar, storage and a path to complementary renewables, including geothermal where feasible. Power, cooling and resilience designed together.

02

Small modules. Big possibility.

Add compute as demand grows. Evaluate serviceable, energy-efficient hardware—including responsibly sourced refurbished systems—to keep costs disciplined.

03

A country is a boundary.

Kenyan workloads would stay in Kenya: inference, tuning, storage, backups and logs. Local key custody and controlled access belong in the design.

BUILT FOR AFRICAN MSMEs

World-class AI.
On your own terms.

Our goal: affordable private inference at competitive prices. Open-source and open-weight models selected by licence, grounded in company documents through private retrieval, or fine-tuned to specific workflows when it adds value.

Pin the model revision. Evaluate against your tasks. Keep adapters portable and previous versions ready to restore. Require tenant isolation, encryption and no cross-customer training.

DESIGN BOUNDARY / KENYA → KENYANO EXTERNAL MODEL FALLBACK
ONE CAMPUS. TWO CONNECTED LABS.

Compute meets the living world.

The neocloud would support scientific modelling and analysis. The biolab would turn selected hypotheses into measured experiments. Consent, separate access controls and scientists’ judgement connect the two.

Research behind the neocloud vision

Design references, not partners or evidence of a deployed Pawanax service. Affordability is a target to validate through measured energy, utilisation and service costs.

THE LAB / FROM ROOTS TO RESEARCH

From African roots.
To human trials.

The next medicine could begin here.
Our vision brings African botanical discovery, responsible preclinical research and AI trial matching into one connected research ecosystem.

PROVENANCE & PARTNERSHIP

Begin where the knowledge grows.

Start with African native plants and the people who know them. Record each sample’s origin. Agree how knowledge and benefits are shared.

A CONNECTED RESEARCH ECOSYSTEM

A promising molecule.
A longer story to tell.

Finding a drug lead is a beginning. We want to help build the evidence that follows—and help clinics connect people with studies of AI-developed medicines, wherever discovery begins.

Preclinical studies precede human trials; primate studies would be considered only where scientifically necessary and approved. Animal findings do not establish safety or effectiveness in humans.

MONKEY FARMS / SCIENCE WITH RESPONSIBILITY

Science asks more.
Care comes first.

In Kenya, we envision a primate research campus designed around social habitats, enrichment and veterinary care. AI would help researchers connect observations with study evidence.

Begin with non-animal methods. Consider primate studies only when justified, independently reviewed and authorised, with lawful sourcing and lifelong care planning.

ReplaceReduceRefine

Animal sourcing would follow conservation requirements and ethical review; local human–wildlife conflict would not determine research use.

FROM A HEALTH PROFILE TO A CONVERSATION

Help the right study
reach the right person.

For clinics and AI drug developers, our proposed matching service would turn consented profiles into potential study matches—giving teams more time for the people behind the records.

01 / UNDERSTAND

Start with the person.

With permission, AI agents bring relevant health history, medications and profile details into view.

02 / MATCH

Find a study worth considering.

Compare each profile with study criteria. Explain potential matches. Flag what the clinic still needs to know.

03 / REVIEW

Make the next step human.

Clinics confirm eligibility. People choose whether to take part. AI helps teams coordinate screening and follow-up.

WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER WITH US

Discover with us. Develop the evidence. Connect a study to its people.

Build a research partnership
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT VISION

This is our research vision. The facilities and matching service are proposed, with no active trials or validated service claimed. Health data would remain subject to consent and privacy controls.

A NOTE ON OUR VISION

The neocloud, biolab and devices are development visions and research concepts. Services, pricing and deployment locations are not yet available. Generated imagery and 3D models visualize our direction; they do not show deployed products or facilities. Clinical use depends on evidence, validation and regulatory review.
