Scaleway has revealed plans to deploy GPU capacity in Copenhagen, Denmark, and in Sweden.
The company made both separate announcements today (October 13), during its AI-Pulse 2026 event in Paris.
In Sweden, Scaleway will deploy an "AI supercomputer" based on the AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs. This, the company says, will be its first supercomputer deployment outside of France and will give startups, AI companies, and enterprises across Europe access to AMD Instinct GPU capacity at scale.
Details about the expected compute capacity of the supercomputer and number of GPUs have not been provided.
"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.”
“Scaleway is expanding the AI infrastructure choices available to customers across Europe with AMD Instinct GPUs and our open ROCm software ecosystem,” said Stephanie Dismore, senior vice president, EMEA, AMD. “Our work with Scaleway will help organizations access the high-performance compute and open software capabilities they need to develop and scale demanding AI workloads.”
Vast Data will provide the data platform for the supercomputer.
AMD officially launched the MI355X GPUs in June 2025. Built using 3nm technology and based on AMD’s CDNA 4 architecture, the MI350 series offers 288GB of HBM3E and 8Tbps of memory bandwidth. The 79 teraflops of FP64 compute is provided by the MI355X, with the GPUs' total board power (TBP) up to 1,000W and 1,400W, respectively.
When compared to Nvidia’s GB200 and B200, AMD claims its MI355X GPU provides 1.6x more memory capacity, 1x more memory bandwidth, and 2x more peak FP64 performance. The GPUs additionally offer a 4x generation-on-generation AI compute increase and a 35x generational improvement in inferencing.
According to Scaleway, the Swedish deployment also builds on its existing partnership with Tele2, in which the two companies said they would launch a cloud and AI offering in Sweden in May of this year. Tele2 operates two data centers in Sweden.
Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, Scaleway has said it will launch a "GPU zone." How this differs from the AI supercomputer in Sweden is unclear. 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." DCD has reached out for clarification.
According to the company, this GPU zone will offer Nvidia HGX B300 compute.
"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. 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," said Damien Lucas, CEO of Scaleway.
