Europe builds AI infrastructure with NVIDIA to fuel region’s next industrial transformation

Friday 20 June 2025 18:37

NVIDIA has announced that it is working with European nations, and technology and industry leaders, to build NVIDIA Blackwell artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure that will strengthen digital sovereignty, support economic growth and position the continent as a leader in the AI industrial revolution.

France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom (U.K.) are among the nations building domestic AI infrastructure with an ecosystem of technology and cloud providers, including Domyn, Mistral AI, Nebius and Nscale, and telecommunications providers, including Orange, Swisscom, Telefónica and Telenor.

These deployments will deliver more than 3,000 exaflops of NVIDIA Blackwell compute resources for sovereign AI, enabling European enterprises, start-ups and public sector organisations to securely develop, train and deploy agentic and physical AI applications.

NVIDIA is establishing and expanding AI technology centres in Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, the U.K. and Finland. These centres build on NVIDIA’s history of collaborating with academic institutions and industry through the NVIDIA AI Technology Centre program and NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute to develop the AI workforce and scientific discovery throughout the regions.

“Every industrial revolution begins with infrastructure. AI is the essential infrastructure of our time, just as electricity and the internet once were,” said Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “With bold leadership from Europe’s governments and industries, AI will drive transformative innovation and prosperity for generations to come.”

“France is committed to investing in AI to strengthen our economy, benefit our citizens and uphold our values,” said Emmanuel Macron, the president of the French Republic. “By working closely with our nation’s leading technology innovators and NVIDIA, we are equipping researchers, entrepreneurs and public institutions with the tools they need to explore new ideas, tackle complex challenges and help shape the future of AI for France.”
