The factory is already operating at over a third of its capacity, with existing customers including Munich-based robotics company Agile Robots and engineering simulation firm PhysicsX. It underpins the 'Deutschland Stack' built with SAP (T-Systems providing infrastructure/platform, SAP providing Business Technology Platform and AI applications), and hosts the SOOFI (Sovereign Open-Source Foundation Models) research project, in which Leibniz Universität Hannover contracted Deutsche Telekom to provide infrastructure for training a sovereign, European-language-focused open-source LLM with around 100 billion parameters.","company":"Deutsche Telekom","industry":"Telecommunications","country":"Germany","aiCapabilities":["Generative AI"],"technology":["NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs","NVIDIA DGX B200","NVIDIA RTX PRO Server","SAP Business Technology Platform"],"deployment":"Unknown","problemStatement":"Germany and Europe needed high-performance, sovereign AI computing capacity operated under German data protection, security and availability requirements so that businesses, research institutions and the public sector could develop and run AI applications on European soil rather than depending on non-European infrastructure.","solutionApproach":"Deutsche Telekom built the Industrial AI Cloud together with NVIDIA and data center partner Polarise over six months, gutting and modernizing a former Hypovereinsbank data center in Munich's Tucherpark to house nearly 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs (including DGX B200 systems and RTX PRO Server GPUs) delivering up to 0.5 ExaFLOPS, operated under German data protection, security and availability requirements. The factory underpins the sovereign 'Deutschland Stack' built with SAP, where T-Systems provides the infrastructure and platform level (including T Cloud) and SAP provides the Business Technology Platform and business/AI applications. Siemens is integrating its SIMCenter simulation portfolio onto the Industrial AI Cloud, and Leibniz Universität Hannover has contracted Deutsche Telekom to provide infrastructure for the SOOFI project, training a sovereign, European-language-focused open-source LLM with around 100 billion parameters.","businessValue":"The Industrial AI Cloud is already operating at over a third of its capacity, with live customers including Munich-based robotics company Agile Robots and engineering-simulation firm PhysicsX. Its 0.5 ExaFLOPS of computing power would allow all 450 million EU citizens to use an AI assistant or chatbot at the same time, and customers can flexibly book computing power and platform services from pilot projects to mission-critical production systems.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://www.telekom.com/en/media/media-information/archive/germany-s-first-ai-factory-for-industry-1101670","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-08-23T09:01:54.483Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-08-23T09:01:54.483Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/deutsche-telekom-launches-industrial-ai-cloud-one-of-europe-s-largest-ai-factories-in-munich.
