Nvidia To Build The World’s First Industrial AI Cloud In Germany

Nvidia announced on Wednesday, during the VivaTech conference in Paris, that it will build the world’s first industrial AI cloud in Germany. Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s CEO, explained that the technology will help Europe’s industrial leaders—including Mercedes-Benz and BMW—accelerate manufacturing applications.

According to Nvidia’s announcement, the Germany-based factory will feature the company’s advanced graphics processing units (GPUs)—including NVIDIA DGX B200 systems and NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers—for applications in design, engineering, and simulation.

“In the era of AI, every manufacturer needs two factories: one for making things, and one for creating the intelligence that powers them,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “By building Europe’s first industrial AI infrastructure, we’re enabling the region’s leading industrial companies to advance simulation-first, AI-driven manufacturing.”

By combining IA and robotics, Nvidia plans to support major European manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW Group, Schaeffler, and Maserati, in areas like factory planning, simulated product design, and AI-powered operations and logistics.

According to Reuters, Huang is committed to expanding this technology and helping AI modeldevelopers in multiple languages and domains. “In just two years, we will increase the amount of AI computing capacity in Europe by a factor of 10,” said Huang at the VivaTech conference, adding that they expect to build around 20 AI factories.

Nvidia is also partnering with Mistral AI—which recently launched its most advanced AI model, Magistral—to develop AI systems optimized for Nvidia’s most advanced chips. Huang also raised concerns about lagging AI adoption in parts of Europe, noting that Britain currently lacks the necessary computing infrastructure.

Following the Paris AI Summit in February, the European Union launched the initiative InvestAI to promote investment in AI, including a €20 billion fund for AI gigafactories.

“Europe has now awakened to the importance of AI factories and the importance of the AI infrastructure,” added Huang.

Huang is expected to travel to Berlin this Friday to meet German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Details regarding the location, cost, and timeline for the construction of the new facility have not yet been disclosed.
