Deutsche Telekom and NVIDIA unveiled the Industrial Artificial Intelligence Cloud in Berlin, presenting it as a sovereign, enterprise-grade platform designed to serve Germany’s industrial transformation. The partners said the platform, billed as the world’s first large-scale industrial Artificial Intelligence cloud, will be built in German data centers and is due to go live in early 2026. Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Höttges framed the effort as building a local technology stack to keep German industry competitive, while NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang described the compute systems as “factories of intelligence” for Industry 4.0.
The platform integrates NVIDIA hardware and software fully into Deutsche Telekom’s cloud and network ecosystem. Announced components include DGX B200 systems, RTX PRO Servers, NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Omniverse, with capacity of up to 10,000 NVIDIA GPUs. Deutsche Telekom and NVIDIA said the infrastructure will enable industry-specific use cases such as digital twins, robotics via NVIDIA Isaac and Omniverse, predictive maintenance and molecular simulation, and will support training of next-generation foundation models using real production data. Contracts will offer early enterprise access to GPU capacity at scale with terms designed for speed and flexibility.
Event participants framed the project as a concrete outcome of the “Made for Germany” initiative and a step toward sovereign Artificial Intelligence capability in Europe. SAP, Siemens, Mercedes-Benz and BMW were cited as ecosystem participants, with SAP positioned as a software backbone for applications. Demonstrations at the launch included robotics examples from Agile Robots and Wandelbots; Agile Robots will use the cloud to curate datasets and train robotic foundation models, while Wandelbots will run its NOVA on the platform to modernize factory floors. Federal ministers and industry leaders emphasized the platform’s political and economic relevance as a foundation for industrial innovation across manufacturing, healthcare, energy and pharma.
