CoreWeave partnered with Bulk Infrastructure to deploy one of Europe's largest NVIDIA AI GPU clusters.
CoreWeave, the AI Hyperscaler™, and Bulk Infrastructure (Bulk) have announced a partnership to establish one of the largest NVIDIA AI deployments in Europe at the N01 Datacenter Campus in Vennesla, Norway. As part of this partnership, CoreWeave will deploy a large-scale NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 cluster, interconnected with ultra-fast NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking. This deployment aims to significantly enhance compute capacity in Norway and is expected to be operational by Summer 2025.
The N01 Datacenter Campus is located in Southern Norway's Agder region, just outside Kristiansand, on a 300-hectare (3km²) site positioned next to one of the largest transformer stations in Europe, with direct and redundant connections to multiple hydropower stations supplying 100% renewable energy. Bulk has secured 400 MW at the site with potential up to 1 GW.
The partnership represents an expansion of CoreWeave's European footprint. In 2024, CoreWeave announced an initial investment of $2.2 billion across Europe, building new data centers delivering the latest AI infrastructure to continental Europe powered by 100 percent renewable energy.
Norwegian Minister of Digitalisation and Public Governance Karianne Tung said: "The goal of the Norwegian government is to establish a national infrastructure for AI towards 2030. Norway being selected as one of the host countries for CoreWeave's expanded AI-infrastructure in Europe, shows we are attractive internationally as a location for high quality data center-services." Mike Mattacola, Chief Business Officer at CoreWeave, stated: "We're excited to partner with Bulk to further expand our regional footprint and capacity in Europe to support the growing need for AI and high-performance computing across the region." Jon Gravråk, CEO of Bulk Infrastructure, added: "Securing an AI deployment of this size demonstrates our capability to meet the needs of our major customers. Our N01 Datacenter Campus is uniquely equipped to meet the stringent demands of AI workloads." Jaap Zuiderveld, Vice President EMEA at NVIDIA, noted: "The deployment of this large-scale NVIDIA GB200 cluster by CoreWeave and Bulk represents a significant step in scaling advanced AI compute capacity across Europe in one of the region's most sustainable locations."
CoreWeave has operated a growing footprint of data centers covering major regions in the US and across Europe since 2017 and was ranked as one of the TIME100 most influential companies of 2024. Bulk is a leading Nordic industrial developer, owner, and operator within digital infrastructure based in Oslo, Norway, offering highly adaptable, interconnected, and scalable data centers supporting AI, HPC, and large cloud service providers, alongside fiber networking capabilities linking sites across the Nordics with markets in the US, UK, and Western Europe.
