Bloomberg reported on May 23 that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) is partnering with a group of Swedish companies, including AstraZeneca Plc, Ericsson AB, Saab AB, and SEB AB, to create the country’s first artificial intelligence infrastructure. Wallenberg Investments AB, the investment vehicle of Sweden’s influential Wallenberg family, will also be a significant shareholder in the venture.
The project’s first phase will establish Sweden’s largest enterprise AI supercomputer by deploying two Nvidia DGX SuperPODs featuring NVIDIA’s latest-generation Grace Blackwell GB300 systems. Nvidia will also open its first AI Technology Center in Sweden and lead AI research with partners. The venture is expected to be operated by a joint company.
