"We are investing in AI, in Germany as a business location and in Europe. Our AI factory in Munich is the basis for innovative business models, for industry, start-ups, the government, and for sovereignty. We are proving here that Europe can do AI."
"Industrial AI allows Germany to play to its strengths in manufacturing and industrial applications, giving the country a chance to compete without requiring the trillion-dollar investment gamble undertaken by the United States and China in consumer-facing artificial intelligence development."
Germany launched the Industrial AI Cloud, a major infrastructure project backed by Deutsche Telekom, to reduce European dependence on US high-performance computing providers. Built in record time of six months, the facility in Munich contains nearly 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with capacity to support 450 million EU citizens simultaneously. Rather than targeting consumers, the platform serves Germany's industrial sector including automakers, machinery manufacturers, robotics companies, research institutions, and government agencies. This initiative aligns with Germany's strategy to leverage its manufacturing expertise in Industrial AI, allowing the country to compete without the trillion-dollar investments required by the US and China in consumer-facing AI development.
