NVIDIA has revealed that a historic total of 35 NVIDIA AI HPC supercomputers are being developed throughout Europe, providing over 3 million researchers with state-of-the-art infrastructure for AI advancement, enhanced scientific research, and industrial progress.
The systems signify the largest one-year growth of supercomputers in Europe, covering national supercomputing hubs, AI production facilities, and research institutions.
Developed on comprehensive NVIDIA AI infrastructure, the systems will facilitate research in climate science, healthcare, clean-energy decarbonization, quantum computing, and fundamental science.
The NVIDIA Blackwell and NVIDIA Hopper™ platforms are driving most of Europe’s AI factory development, with 800 AI exaflops implemented or revealed since the previous year.
NVIDIA offers a comprehensive platform for science through NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand networking, NVIDIA CUDA-X™ libraries, NVIDIA NIM™ microservices, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, covering model training, simulation, inference, and agentic AI.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA says, “AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers. With NVIDIA accelerated computing, researchers can simulate more complex systems, train scientific AI models and build agentic AI workflows that turn Europe’s data and expertise into breakthroughs for the world.”
Supercomputers including Barcelona Supercomputing Center’s EuroHPC MareNostrum5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI’s Blue Swan, IT4LIA, HLRS’s HammerHAI and NAISS’s Mimer EuroHPC AI Factory are among those based on advanced NVIDIA AI infrastructure.
Mateo Valero Cortés, director of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center says, “BSC is committed to building AI infrastructure that advances science, industry and society. With the upgrade to MareNostrum5 and NVIDIA accelerated computing, the consortium composed of Spain, Portugal and Türkiye will make available to European researchers the tools to tackle some of the world’s most complex challenges, from climate modeling to biomedical discovery.”
Bavarian Minister of Science Markus Blume says, “With the project ‘Blue Swan Platform,’ Bavaria is working on an innovative and independent, multimodal AI foundation model for important application areas like health and robotics. This will allow us to provide a powerful AI tool for science and industry that fully meets European standards. For this ambitious goal, we are currently building a special computing infrastructure at Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen — the biggest GPU cluster you can find at any German university.”
