On June 11, 2025, NVIDIA announced at GTC Paris during VivaTech that it would build the world's first industrial AI cloud in Germany for European manufacturers. This "AI factory" is located in Germany and will be equipped with 10,000 GPUs, including NVIDIA DGX B200 systems and NVIDIA RTX PRO servers. It will operate NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, NVIDIA RTX, and NVIDIA Omniverse-accelerated workloads from leading software providers such as Siemens, Ansys, and Cadence.

This industrial AI cloud aims to help European industrial leaders accelerate various manufacturing applications, covering the entire process from design, engineering, and simulation to factory digital twins and robotics. BMW Group, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Schaeffler, Volvo Cars, and other European manufacturers are transforming their end-to-end product lifecycles by running NVIDIA-accelerated applications from software leaders such as Ansys, Cadence, and Siemens.

NVIDIA is collaborating with Deutsche Telekom/T-Systems to build this industrial AI cloud. Deutsche Telekom will provide a secure, sovereign, and fast infrastructure, being responsible for data centers, operations, sales, security, and AI solutions, and ensuring compliance with European values such as data protection and data security, with data only being processed in accordance with European standards.

This investment is of great significance. It serves as a launchpad to accelerate the development and adoption of AI by European manufacturers, helping Germany establish its own sovereign AI infrastructure and promoting the development of the European manufacturing industry. Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO of NVIDIA, stated that "in the era of AI, every manufacturer needs two factories: one for making things, and one for creating the intelligence that powers them". This AI-driven infrastructure aligns with Europe's ambition to build a sovereign, high-performance computing ecosystem.
