Nscale is a European cloud provider building AI computing infrastructure across Europe, giving companies and governments access to powerful graphics processors while keeping their data on European soil. This addresses growing demand from organizations that need AI computing power but must comply with European data privacy regulations. Nscale positions itself as Europe's answer to U.S.-dominated GPU cloud providers, offering data sovereignty and compliance with EU regulations like GDPR for organizations that cannot or prefer not to send data to American hyperscalers. Their European-first approach addresses a critical gap in the market for sovereign AI infrastructure.

European companies and governments increasingly need local, sovereign AI compute infrastructure to comply with data regulations and reduce dependence on U.S. cloud providers, directly driving Nscale's growth.

In March 2026, Nscale and Microsoft announced a collaboration to to deliver 1.35GW of Vera Rubin NVIDIA capacity on a new West Virginia Campus.
