Nebius has announced the launch of a new data centre in Paris, one of the first in Europe to offer NVIDIA’s H200 Tensor Core GPUs. The company, rebranded from the European arm of “Russia’s Google,” Yandex, is investing heavily to build AI infrastructure across the continent.
According to Arkady Volozh, CEO and founder of Nebius, the company’s data centre in Finland already provides the latest high-performance compute, tools, and services to AI developers. The addition of the new GPU cluster in Paris is the next step in the company’s plan to expand Europe’s AI capacity.
“We work in a new industry which requires both deep technology and significant capital,” said Volozh. “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 is building infrastructure to meet the rising demand for AI, focusing on “technology for technologists,” or T2T. The company’s core product is an AI-centric cloud platform for intense AI workloads. Nebius also plans to bring Nvidia’s Blackwell platform to customers in the future.
The company has grand plans, having already signed letters of intent for two more data centres in undisclosed greenfield locations in Europe. It will also expand its existing data centre in Mäntsälä, Finland.
