NVIDIA is launching Europe’s first industrial AI cloud in Germany, backed by Deutsche Telekom. The facility will host 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs using DGX B200 systems and RTX PRO Servers. It aims to speed up AI-driven manufacturing with applications in design, simulation, digital twins, and robotics.
This is Germany’s biggest AI deployment so far. The AI factory will power industrial AI tools and give manufacturers a “second factory” for AI — as NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang put it.
“In the era of AI, every manufacturer needs two factories: one for making things, and one for creating the intelligence that powers them,” Jensen Huang said.
“By building Europe’s first industrial AI infrastructure, we’re enabling the region’s leading industrial companies to advance simulation-first, AI-driven manufacturing.”
Deutsche Telekom CEO Timotheus Höttges stressed speed to market.
“Europe’s technological future needs a sprint, not a stroll,” Höttges said.
“We must seize the opportunities of artificial intelligence now, revolutionize our industry and secure a leading position in the global technology competition. Our economic success depends on quick decisions and collaborative innovations.”
NEURA Robotics, a German leader in physical AI and cognitive robots, will tap into the factory’s power for its Neuraverse—a shared network where robots learn and evolve together.
“Physical AI is the electricity of the future — it will power every machine on the planet,” NEURA CEO David Reger stated.
“Through this initiative, we’re helping build the sovereign infrastructure Europe needs to lead in intelligent robotics and stay in control of its future.”
The AI cloud will serve the full spectrum — from Germany’s Mittelstand firms to academia and large enterprises — with support for NVIDIA CUDA-X, RTX, and Omniverse workloads from Siemens, Ansys, Cadence, and more.
This launch is only the first step toward Germany’s planned AI gigafactories, expected online by 2027, packing 100,000 GPUs and backed by the EU. The gigafactories will offer major HPC resources for startups, researchers, and universities.
NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute courses will help upskill German AI talent. Other European telcos are also building AI clouds to boost regional AI projects.
