Deutsche Telekom has launched an Nvidia-powered ‘AI factory’ at a data center operated by Polarise, located in Munich’s Tucherpark, in Germany.

Dubbed the ‘Industrial AI Cloud,’ the deployment comprises around 10,000 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, including Nvidia DGX B200 systems and Nvidia RTX PRO server GPUs.

The AI factory will be operated by Deutsche Telekom on German soil under strict requirements for data protection, security, and availability, the company said. The infrastructure will be made available to companies, research institutions, and the public sector in Germany and across Europe, and already, more than a third of the compute deployed by the telco is being utilized by its current customers.

The infrastructure forms the basis of the so-called ‘Germany Stack,’ which Telekom provides jointly with SAP, while Telekom subsidiary T-Systems is responsible for the infrastructure and platform layer, including T Cloud. German multinational Siemens is also integrating parts of its SIMCenter simulation portfolio into the AI Cloud.

“We don’t just talk, Deutsche Telekom takes action,” said Tim Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom. “We are investing in AI, in Germany, and in Europe. Our AI factory in Munich is the foundation for innovative business models, for industry, startups, and the government – ​​and for sovereignty. Here, we are proving that Europe can handle AI.”

Lars Klingbeil, Germany’s Finance Minister, added: “For the investment offensive to succeed, we need both – public and private investment. We have created the conditions for public investment and are now working to ensure that it is invested quickly. An important milestone has been reached here for the German and European AI ecosystem. This will not only benefit innovative companies, but also strengthen digital sovereignty.”
