Berlin, Germany, November 4, 2025- NVIDIA and Deutsche Telekom have announced a joint plan to build a new Industrial AI Cloud data center in Munich, Germany, aimed at giving European companies direct access to large-scale AI compute without relying on overseas infrastructure. The project, valued at roughly EUR 1 billion (USD 1.15 billion), will serve as a regional AI hub for industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and robotics, with commercial operations expected to begin in early 2026.
According to the official release, the facility will house more than 1,000 NVIDIA DGX B200 systems and RTX PRO servers, together delivering up to 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. The companies say the setup will provide a peak performance of 0.5 exaflops and about 20 petabytes of storage.
Deutsche Telekom will manage the data center infrastructure and network operations, while NVIDIA supplies the computing architecture and AI software stack, including NVIDIA AI Enterprise and Omniverse for digital-twin simulation.
Deutsche Telekom Chief Executive Timotheus Höttges said in the announcement that the collaboration “combines German infrastructure with the world’s most advanced AI hardware,” adding that it will “allow European industries to train and run AI models under full data sovereignty, inside Germany.”
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, described the initiative as “an industrial AI factory built to accelerate Europe’s manufacturing and robotics future.”
The Munich site will integrate directly into Deutsche Telekom’s high-speed fiber backbone, providing 400-gigabit connectivity to customers and edge nodes across Germany and neighbouring markets. Initial pilot users include Siemens, SAP, and Agile Robots, which plan to use the facility for generative design, industrial automation, and AI-assisted maintenance workflows.
Technically, the Industrial AI Cloud is designed around NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPU architecture, optimized for large-language-model training, inference, and physics-based simulation workloads. Deutsche Telekom says the site will be powered by renewable energy from regional utilities and will feature advanced heat-reuse systems to improve efficiency.
The partners say the project reflects growing European demand for sovereign AI infrastructure as governments push to keep sensitive industrial data within national borders. When completed, the Munich facility will stand as one of Europe’s largest GPU installations dedicated to enterprise and industrial AI, a move both firms describe as a milestone in Europe’s digital-industrial strategy.
