Europe to Deploy 35 NVIDIA AI Supercomputers, Largest Expansion in a Year

Huoxing Finance reports that on June 22, NVIDIA announced that 35 AI and HPC supercomputers are under construction or deployment across Europe, spanning 23 countries and research institutions, marking the largest supercomputing expansion in Europe within a single year. These systems are built on NVIDIA Blackwell and Hopper architectures, integrated with the CUDA-X, NVIDIA NIM, and AI Enterprise software stack, enabling advancements in climate science, medical research, clean energy, and quantum computing. Official data indicates that the infrastructure will serve over 3 million researchers. NVIDIA stated that its AI infrastructure now supports over 90% of AI factory deployments in Europe, with approximately 800 AI exaflops of computing power either deployed or planned. Specific projects include AI factory initiatives led by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Germany’s HLRS, Italy’s CINECA, and Sweden’s NAISS, with some systems achieving tens of exaflops in training and inference performance. The initiative also includes collaboration with Siemens Energy on hydrogen gas turbine development and quantum-GPU hybrid computing research powered by the CUDA-Q platform. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that AI is becoming a “new scientific instrument,” accelerating complex system simulations and scientific discovery for researchers.
