Partially operational
Germany · 1 project · Last reported
Summary
Deutsche Telekom and NVIDIA converted an existing underground data center in Munich's Tucherpark into an AI factory branded the Industrial AI Cloud, at a reported cost of about EUR 1 billion from Telekom and its partners. It is designed for about 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs (around 0.5 exaflops) and uses water from the Eisbach stream for cooling. The site officially opened on 2026-02-04 with first customers live, though trade press reported the four GPU halls were still far from complete.

| Other | Telekom says the facility runs entirely on renewable energy; the supply arrangement is not described. Cooling uses Eisbach stream water, and waste heat is to heat the Tucherpark quarter. | Deutsche Telekom; Germany Trade & Invest |
Qualifies on investment (about EUR 1 billion); reported power is far below 100 MW. Status is partially operational because the opening press reported the halls far from fully fitted out, while Telekom described the site as officially in operation. Germany Trade & Invest reports Telekom plans to double to 20,000 GPUs without naming a site.

Evidence
Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
