Berlin, October 27, 2025- NVIDIA and Deutsche Telekom are reported to be preparing a joint investment of about EUR 1 billion (~USD 1.17 billion) to build a new data centre in Germany that would house advanced AI computing for local enterprises, according to a Bloomberg report citing people familiar with the plans.
Both companies will contribute funding, and SAP SE is expected to be a customer of the facility, though those details are drawn from unnamed sources and have not been confirmed in public statements by either company. Previous reporting and public comments from Deutsche Telekom show the company has been working with NVIDIA on AI infrastructure in Germany, including plans earlier this year for dedicated industrial AI cloud projects and an initial commitment of NVIDIA GPUs to support manufacturing customers. That backdrop helps explain why a joint data-centre project would be a logical next step, even while core facts like site, timetable, and technical specs remain unannounced.
Industry sources and market wires have rebroadcast Bloomberg’s account, but secondary pieces add detail inconsistently and sometimes cite local speculation about site locations such as Munich; those particulars are not present in Bloomberg’s original piece and should be treated as unverified until companies or regulators confirm them. Reuters and other trade coverage show Deutsche Telekom has been publicly discussing partnerships to expand AI infrastructure in Germany and has previously referenced collaborations with NVIDIA and other partners as it evaluates sites and grid arrangements. That public record provides context for Bloomberg’s report but does not substitute for an official project announcement.
If the plan is confirmed, a jointly funded, EUR 1 billion (~UAS 1.2 billion) facility would be one of the larger private investments in European AI infrastructure this year and would underscore a wider industry push to locate more compute inside Europe for reasons of latency, regulatory compliance, and data sovereignty. Observers will watch for formal filings, planning-permit notices, utility agreements, and customer contracts to validate scale, timeline, and operating arrangements.
At the time of writing, neither NVIDIA nor Deutsche Telekom had posted an official press release; the story, therefore, remains attribution-driven reporting rather than a confirmed corporate announcement.
