Chip and cloud company Cerebras Systems is expanding its data center footprint into Europe.

The wafer-scale chip company and cloud provider has revealed that it is set to bring its first data center capacity online in Europe by the end of 2026.

The buildout will be focused in France and the Nordics, and will ultimately see Cerebras deploy 200MW by the end of 2027.

“We are contracting significant capacity for 2027, with data centers slated for Norway and Finland as we actively build across Europe,” said Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman. “These deployments will enable us to move decisively on what our customers have been asking for: fast, high-performance AI compute located in Europe.”

“Our customers don’t just want AI compute. They want it close to home, powered responsibly, and available fast,” added Feldman. “This expansion and capacity plan reflects our confidence in Europe as a long-term growth market for Cerebras.”

Details about which data center operators Cerebras is partnering with in Europe have not been shared.

In May of this year, Cerebras signed on to lease 40MW of capacity from a Digi Power X data center in Columbiana, Alabama.

Cerebras also has inference clusters live in Santa Clara and Stockton, California (the latter at Nautilus’ floating barge facility), and Dallas, Texas. The company is rolling out clusters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and works closely with G42, including on a supercomputer in India.

In Canada, the company is set to lease capacity in Montreal at a Bit Digital facility, and in Saskatchewan and Manitoba from Bell. The firm is planning a large-scale deployment in Guyana.

The company filed to go public in April 2026. In its IPO filing, the company reported $87.9 million in net income on $510m in revenue during 2025. Revenue was up 76 percent from 2024 – with Cerebras reporting a $485m net loss at the time. After publishing its first earnings report since the IPO in June, the company saw shares fall by around 20 percent.

During the earnings call, CEO Feldman noted that the company was struggling to access data center capacity, stating it was “at a premium” and describing the situation as a “dog fight.”

“Despite this, we’ve added data centers around the world. We’ve added data centers across the US and Canada, Europe, including France and the Nordics, and we’re in early discussions for data centers in Israel, the UAE, Australia, Singapore, India, and Indonesia.“

Feldman added: “We’re trying to add data center space as fast as we can. We’re engaged with builders throughout North America, data center operators in Europe, and in the Middle East. We have new data centers coming on board in Q3, Q4, and Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 of next year, and are adding more. We’re in discussions with literally dozens of different data center owner-operators.”
