Policy readiness
NsUI 2030 and ZIUDHPUI establish the strategy and implementation framework. The Highway aligns its work with that existing spine.

Connectivity
Telekom Slovenije connects the physical nodes and the digital layer. Network continuity supports the movement of context between institutions.
Financial rails
Banka Slovenije (Bank of Slovenia), MiCA and Dinaro establish the settlement perimeter. The agent layer connects to supervised infrastructure.

The OECD’s 2026 diagnosis identifies fragmented responsibilities, coordination gaps and a need for public-sector AI capability. Infrastructure must be accompanied by the capacity to operate and govern it.
Human Capital →Options considered
Compute sovereignty through a hyperscaler tenancy.
