Nvidia Expands AI Infrastructure Footprint in Europe Amid Global Push

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled major European AI partnerships during his GTC keynote in Paris, framing the company as the backbone of tomorrow''s digital economies. "Every industrial revolution begins with infrastructure," Huang declared, equating AI''s transformative potential to historic shifts like electrification. The chipmaker plans to deploy its GPU-powered "AI factories" across the continent, projecting a tenfold surge in European computing capacity within two years.

The European pivot follows Nvidia''s Middle East expansion, where it''s supplying chips for Saudi and Emirati data centers. This global maneuvering gains urgency after U.S. export restrictions choked Chinese revenue streams. Huang emphasized Europe''s awakening to sovereign AI needs, positioning Nvidia as the critical enabler for nations safeguarding data within EU borders.
