Europe unveils a record 35 new NVIDIA AI supercomputers at ISC High Performance 2026

NVIDIA announced at the ISC High Performance 2026 conference on June 22 that a record 35 NVIDIA AI HPC supercomputers are in development across Europe, spanning 23 countries and equipping more than 3 million researchers. The systems represent Europe's largest one-year expansion of supercomputers and include national supercomputing centers, AI factories and academic research institutions, according to an NVIDIA news release. Infrastructure includes the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's EuroHPC MareNostrum5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan, IT4LIA, HLRS's HammerHAI and NAISS's Mimer EuroHPC AI Factory. The Blackwell and Hopper platforms power the majority of Europe's AI factory buildout, with 800 AI exaflops deployed or announced since last year. NVIDIA AI infrastructure is powering over 90% of Europe's AI factory buildout. "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
