Nvidia Expands AI Infrastructure Partnerships Across Europe

Nvidia is strengthening its position in the global AI market through extensive partnerships across Europe, focusing on building sovereign AI infrastructure tailored to local languages and cultures. The company announced collaborations with European countries including France, Italy, Spain, and the U.K., involving technology firms, cloud providers, and telecommunications companies to develop Nvidia Blackwell AI infrastructure delivering over 3,000 exaflops of compute resources. These efforts include establishing AI technology centers in multiple European nations and optimizing large language models with regional model builders and cloud partners using Nvidia's Nemotron techniques to improve cost efficiency and accuracy. Nvidia's initiative aims to create an integrated regional AI ecosystem that supports enterprise AI adoption and reflects Europe's diverse languages and cultures, with models hosted on local infrastructure and integrated into AI-powered platforms like Perplexity. CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the critical role of AI infrastructure, likening it to past industrial revolutions driven by electricity and the internet, and projects a tenfold increase in AI computing capacity in Europe over the next two years. These strategic moves also come as Nvidia navigates U.S. export restrictions, underscoring the importance of expanding its international footprint.
