Sweden Just Launched Its Biggest AI Supercomputer
STOCKHOLM , 26TH MAY 2025 — Ericsson is collaborating with other partners in a Swedish consortium to create Sweden’s first sovereign AI Factory, which will provide Sweden with its most powerful AI supercomputing infrastructure.
Ericsson will co-develop and operate the facility with AstraZeneca, SAAB, SEB, and Wallenberg Investment AB to fast-track national digitalization and sovereign AI capacity.
When operational, the factory will use two NVIDIA DGX SuperPODs with the latest Grace Blackwell GB300 chips and will be the largest enterprise AI supercomputer in Sweden.
The factory’s intended users will provide access to secure compute services for compute-intensive workloads, such as AI foundation model training (analogous to learning a new language), reasoning AI, large-scale inference, or their combination. All use cases will be hosted in a Swedish operational environment.
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said: “
As electricity powered the industrial age and the Internet fueled the digital age, AI is the engine of the next industrial revolution. Through the visionary initiative of Wallenberg Investments and Sweden’s industry leaders, the country is building its first AI infrastructure — laying the foundation for breakthroughs across science, industry, and society, and securing Sweden’s place at the forefront of the AI era.”
Marcus Wallenberg, chair of Wallenberg Investments, said:
“Investing in cutting-edge AI infrastructure is a crucial step toward accelerating the development and adoption of AI across Swedish industry. We believe this initiative will generate valuable spillover effects — by enabling upskilling, fostering new collaborations, and strengthening the broader national AI ecosystem”
As part of the initiative, NVIDIA will also establish its first AI Technology Center in Sweden to support collaborative research with industry partners (Ericsson, AstraZeneca, SAAB, SEB, Wallenberg Investment AB) and promote innovation in sectors such as healthcare, defence, banking, and telecom.
In general these companies will use AI to support their respective roles moving forward with Ericsson expected to use AI to help evolve autonomous networks and improve user experience,
AstraZeneca looking to extend their drug discovery and modeling capabilities based on AI technologies provided by infrastructure, SAAB integrating AI capabilities into next-generation defence capability, and SEB looking to drive innovation and productivity in banking services with AI technologies.
Together, these organizations will establish Sweden as a competitive leader in the global AI landscape.
