OpenAI to build its first European AI data center in Norway
OpenAI announced plans to open a new AI data center in Norway, marking its first infrastructure investment in Europe. The move aligns with the EU’s efforts to achieve AI sovereignty by investing in localized data and compute capacity. The Norwegian facility will support OpenAI’s growing demand for compute power while ensuring compliance with European data regulations. The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs and strengthen European participation in AI development.
A strategic step that reinforces Europe’s role in the global AI ecosystem and boosts OpenAI’s regional footprint.
