Deutsche Telekom and Nvidia to Build €1 Billion AI Data Center in Munich

The project marks the first step in Telekom’s bid to scale native AI infrastructure under prospective EU gigafactory funding.

Overview

  • Deutsche Telekom confirmed Tucherpark in Munich as the site following a joint announcement with Nvidia in Berlin on Nov. 4.
  • The facility targets more than €1 billion in spending and roughly 10,000 of Nvidia’s latest GPUs, with Telekom responsible for operation, security and sales.
  • Telekom pledged that customer data will remain in Germany and be handled only by employees from Germany or elsewhere in Europe.
  • Early customers and partners named include Agile Robots, SAP, Deutsche Bank and the AI company Perplexity.
  • German officials publicly welcomed the investment, and reporting indicates the build could repurpose an older HypoVereinsbank underground data center as permitting and timelines remain to be set.
