Deutsche Telekom, a German telecom company, will invest €250 million (US$ 277 million) in expanding its Industrial AI Cloud in Munich, adding NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra B300 graphics processing units (GPUs) to its existing infrastructure. The facility provides access to computing resources under European data protection, security and data-control requirements.
According to a Deutsche Telekom press release, the expansion will double the number of GPUs in the Blackwell class and increase the facility’s total capacity to 20 MWs. The site will continue to use NVIDIA Blackwell B200 systems and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs.
The additional computing capacity is intended to support the training and operation of large AI models, complex reasoning tasks and simulations. Companies will also be able to use the infrastructure to develop robotics, digital twins, AI models and other industrial applications.
“Powerful AI is created through the interaction of computing capacity, secure data rooms, powerful connectivity and a confident and secure environment,” said Tim Höttges, CEO, Deutsche Telekom. “The aim is not only to develop AI, but also to put it into practice as a scalable business model – for measurable efficiency gains, new products and additional added value in Germany and Europe.”
Dr Ferri Abolhassan, board member Deutsche Telekom and CEO T-Systems, said, “In doing so, Telekom is consistently implementing its announcement from February: promised and kept. The first expansion stage is at capacity, well-known industrial companies such as Siemens and Daimler Trucks are already using the infrastructure and a well-filled project pipeline shows further need. The expansion is therefore the next step in moving AI computing power in Germany from a pilot project to industrial breadth.”
“The next wave of artificial intelligence will fundamentally change how we produce. Germany has a particular competitive advantage for this: the process knowledge of our industry that has grown over decades. When we combine this knowledge with powerful AI, industrial intelligence emerges,” said Katherina Reiche, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy. “To achieve this, our companies need secure, confident and affordable computing power. Deutsche Telekom is creating exactly this requirement here in Munich and doubling its capacity to 20,000 graphics processors. This is entrepreneurial courage that turns technological possibilities into industrial reality. And this is exactly where a great opportunity lies for Germany as a business location.”
The Industrial AI Cloud in Munich’s Tucherpark began operations in February 2026. It provides computing infrastructure for companies, start-ups, research institutions and public-sector organisations developing and operating AI applications. Telekom is also discussing a possible expansion of its activities in Bavaria with partners. Any expansion would depend on securing sustainable financing and an economically viable business model.
