NVIDIA unveiled plans on Wednesday to build the world’s first industrial AI cloud in Germany, aiming to revolutionize European manufacturing with a 10,000-GPU facility and partnerships with industry leaders like BMW, Siemens, and Mercedes-Benz.
NVIDIA has announced the construction of the world’s first industrial AI cloud designed specifically for European manufacturers, a bold step toward modernizing the region’s manufacturing through advanced artificial intelligence.
The Germany-based AI factory will house 10,000 GPUs, including NVIDIA DGX™ B200 systems and NVIDIA RTX PRO™ Servers. It will support a wide range of manufacturing tasks—from product design and engineering to digital twins and robotics—using AI-powered solutions.
“In the era of AI, every manufacturer needs two factories: one for making things, and one for creating the intelligence that powers them,” said NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang during the company’s GTC Paris keynote.
The AI factory will operate under NVIDIA's Omniverse Blueprint framework, utilizing tools like Cadence’s Reality Digital Twin Platform to simulate and optimize operations in virtual environments.
NVIDIA said the facility will accelerate AI development and adoption across Europe’s industrial sector. Leading manufacturers including BMW Group, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz and Schaeffler are already leveraging NVIDIA technologies to transform their entire product lifecycles—from design to logistics.
Software leaders Ansys, Cadence, and Siemens are integrating NVIDIA’s CUDA-X libraries and Omniverse platform into their products to speed up simulations, optimize designs, and enhance visualization. Ansys has reported a 2.5x performance boost in vehicle fluid simulations using NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.
Siemens and NVIDIA also announced an expanded partnership to build the factory of the future, combining Siemens’ automation expertise with NVIDIA’s AI stack.
Digital twin technologies, enabled by Omniverse, are being adopted by BMW and Schaeffler to improve factory planning and performance. BMW is using the platform to enable real-time collaboration on plant-scale layouts, while Schaeffler is deploying it across more than 100 production sites.
Mercedes-Benz is designing assembly lines virtually using Omniverse, helping reduce downtime and increase efficiency.
The initiative is expected to play a central role in Europe's transition toward AI-driven manufacturing and is seen as a launchpad for future industrial-scale AI factories across the continent.
