Scaleway to Deploy AMD-Powered AI Supercomputer in Sweden and Nvidia GPU Zone in Copenhagen

French cloud provider Scaleway has unveiled plans to expand its AI infrastructure footprint across Europe with two separate deployments announced during its AI-Pulse 2026 event in Paris, marking a significant step in the company's push to strengthen European technological sovereignty in artificial intelligence computing.

In Sweden, Scaleway will deploy what it describes as an "AI supercomputer" built on AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs. The deployment represents the company's first supercomputer installation outside of France and is intended to provide startups, AI companies, and enterprises across Europe with access to AMD Instinct GPU capacity at scale. The company did not disclose the expected compute capacity or the number of GPUs involved. Vast Data will supply the data platform for the supercomputer.

The AMD Instinct MI355X, officially launched in June 2025, is built using 3nm technology and based on AMD's CDNA 4 architecture. The MI350 series offers 288GB of HBM3E memory and 8Tbps of memory bandwidth, with the MI355X delivering 79 teraflops of FP64 compute and a total board power of up to 1,400W. AMD claims the MI355X provides 1.6x more memory capacity, 1x more memory bandwidth, and 2x more peak FP64 performance compared to Nvidia's GB200 and B200 GPUs, alongside a 4x generational increase in AI compute and a 35x improvement in inferencing.

"We are excited to deepen our work with AMD and bring the power of AMD Instinct technology to companies across Europe at this scale," said Damien Lucas, CEO of Scaleway. "Doing it from Sweden makes this milestone particularly meaningful, as we continue to grow our presence and investment across Europe." Stephanie Dismore, senior vice president for EMEA at AMD, added that the collaboration would help organizations "access the high-performance compute and open software capabilities they need to develop and scale demanding AI workloads," citing AMD's open ROCm software ecosystem.

The Swedish deployment builds on Scaleway's existing partnership with Tele2, through which the two companies announced plans in May 2026 to launch a cloud and AI offering in Sweden. Tele2 operates two data centers in the country.

Separately, Scaleway announced plans to launch a "GPU zone" in Copenhagen, Denmark, offering Nvidia HGX B300 compute. The company describes its GPU zones as locations designed to provide large-scale GPU capacity for AI training and inference, complementing its existing cloud Availability Zones. The distinction between the Copenhagen GPU zone and the Swedish AI supercomputer remains unclear, and further details on the scope and capacity of the Danish deployment have not been disclosed.

"Access to high-performance AI computing is becoming a strategic priority for European organizations, and they increasingly want that capacity delivered by providers they can trust," Lucas said. "With our new GPU Zone in Copenhagen, we're responding to that demand by bringing the latest Nvidia technologies closer to customers, while staying true to our commitment to European technological independence."

The dual announcements underscore a broader trend among European cloud and infrastructure providers to build out sovereign AI compute capacity, reducing reliance on U.S.-based hyperscalers and ensuring that European enterprises can access advanced GPU resources within the region. By deploying both AMD and Nvidia-based infrastructure across two Nordic countries, Scaleway is positioning itself as a multi-vendor AI cloud platform capable of serving a wide range of AI training and inference workloads.
