Nvidia has announced the deployment of 35 new supercomputers in 23 countries across Europe, with a combined computing power of 800 exaflops for AI tasks. The initiative presented at the ISC 2026 conference will cover more than 3 million researchers and include key projects such as the EuroHPC AI Factory in Barcelona, the German HammerHAI, and the Swedish Mimer. Infrastructure built on Nvidia Quantum InfiniBand, CUDA-X and CUDA-Q technologies, using Blackwell architectures, Hopper and the promising Vera Rubin platform.

The program’s flagship will be the Jupiter supercomputer at the German Forschungszentrum Jülich - Europe’s first exzhapsline system. It will map the human brain at the cellular level, model the global climate with a resolution of up to 1 km, and accelerate the development of 5G/6G networks. The Vera Rubin platform, already in mass production, provides 7 AI performance exaflops and 5 FP64 petaflops within a single rack, and the Blue Lion installation promises a 30-fold capacity increase by 2027.

Europe is betting on technological sovereignty in the AI era, and this deployment opens up a new chapter of scientific acceleration. Researchers will receive tools for groundbreaking work in climate science, health care, energy and materials science. Nvidia’s partners - Bull, Dell, GIGABYTE, HPE and Supermicro - are already releasing initial configurations based on NVL4 with Intel Xeon processors, providing scalability for national laboratories and research institutes.
