Nebius opens new GPU cluster in Paris, part of $1B European AI investment by mid-2025

AI infrastructure company Nebius today announced the launch of a new GPU cluster in Paris. This is part of the company’s plans to invest more than $1 billion by mid-2025 in AI infrastructure in Europe.

Arkady Volozh, founder and CEO of Nebius, said: 

“We work in a new industry which requires both deep technology and significant capital. Our data centre in Finland already provides the latest high-performance compute, tools and services to AI developers around the world. The addition of our new GPU cluster in Paris is the next step in our plan to expand Europe’s AI capacity as we develop Nebius into a leading global AI infrastructure company.”

Nebius’s new GPU cluster in Paris will be among the first in Europe to offer NVIDIA’s H200 Tensor Core GPUs. As an NVIDIA cloud and OEM partner, Nebius will also be one of the first to bring NVIDIA’s state-of-the-art Blackwell platform to customers in 2025.

Already one of the leading providers of GPU capacity in Europe through its highly energy-efficient data centre in Mäntsälä, Finland, Nebius’s AI infrastructure build-out strategy combines investments in new-build data centres at greenfield sites primarily in Europe with new colocations and additional capacity at its existing facilities.

 Nebius has signed letters of intent to build two new data centres in Europe. 

The company has also started work on expanding its data centre in Finland.

Together, these investments—which include approximately $200 million deployed since the beginning of this year—will enable the company to reach a total capacity of tens of thousands of GPUs and bring its highly differentiated AI cloud offering to customers worldwide.
