Nvidia and Deutsche Telekom have announced a strategic partnership to build Germany´s premier industrial artificial intelligence cloud, a substantial leap in the nation´s journey toward establishing sovereign AI capabilities. The project, announced during Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang´s European tour, is designed to accelerate innovation in manufacturing by providing cutting-edge infrastructure to industrial leaders, enabling applications in design, engineering, simulation, digital twins, and robotics. Operated by Deutsche Telekom, the AI factory will feature 10,000 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs housed in both DGX B200 systems and RTX PRO Servers, supported by advanced networking and AI software.
The new facility is described as Germany´s single largest artificial intelligence deployment and represents a critical point in the country´s strategy to boost its technological independence and competitive standing. The infrastructure will underpin pioneering efforts like NEURA Robotics´ training centers for cognitive robots, powering their Neuraverse platform—a networked ecosystem where robots continuously learn and share new skills across a variety of industrial and domestic tasks. This not only exemplifies the potential of physical AI but also provides a hub for continuous development and deployment of robotic intelligence in real-world scenarios.
Deutsche Telekom will offer AI cloud computing resources from the facility to a broad range of customers across the European industrial ecosystem. Universities, startups, major enterprises, and the Mittelstand (Germany’s small and medium-sized businesses) will have access to Nvidia´s CUDA-X libraries and Omniverse-accelerated workloads from leading providers like Siemens, Ansys, and Cadence. This approach is underscored by Germany´s ambition to triple its data center capacity within five years and move swiftly toward the creation of AI gigafactories—massive, 100,000 GPU-powered computing centers, backed by the European Union and set to launch by 2027. These AI gigafactories are positioned to provide researchers, innovators, and enterprises with unprecedented access to high-performance computing, cementing Europe´s place at the forefront of artificial intelligence-driven manufacturing and technology transformation.
