Deutsche Telekom Opens Industrial AI Cloud in Munich with Nearly 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs

Deutsche Telekom officially opened its Industrial AI Cloud in Munich on February 4, 2026, giving companies, research institutions and the public sector in Germany and Europe sovereign computing power for artificial intelligence. The AI factory was built over six months with NVIDIA and data centre partner Polarise, and was already operating at more than a third of its capacity with existing customers at launch. The infrastructure runs on nearly 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, including NVIDIA DGX B200 systems and RTX PRO Server GPUs, delivering up to 0.5 ExaFLOPS of computing power. It occupies a former HypoVereinsbank data centre of about 10,700 square metres in Munich's Tucherpark, which was gutted and modernised, runs entirely on renewable energy, is cooled with water from the nearby Eisbach and is planned to supply waste heat to the district. Deutsche Telekom operates it under strict data protection, security and availability requirements on German soil, and customers can book computing power and platform services as needed, from pilots to production systems. Customers include Munich-based Agile Robots, which brings its AI foundation for robotics to the platform, and PhysicsX, which specialises in engineering simulation. Siemens is integrating its Simcenter simulation portfolio, Digital Twin Composer, GPU-based simulation and AI co-pilots, and Deutsche Telekom and SAP are building the "Deutschland stack", with T-Systems providing the infrastructure and platform layer, including T Cloud, and SAP its Business Technology Platform and AI applications. One of the first large projects is SOOFI, for which Leibniz Universität Hannover contracted Deutsche Telekom to provide infrastructure for training a sovereign open-source language model of around 100 billion parameters focused on European languages. "Our AI factory in Munich is the basis for innovative business models, for industry, start-ups and the government – and for sovereignty," said Tim Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom. Cedrik Neike, CEO of Digital Industries at Siemens, said running Siemens software in the GPU-accelerated, sovereign cloud can "drastically reduce our customers' simulation times."
