Danish IT services firm Netcompany has become a joint owner of the Danish Centre for AI Innovation (DCAI), alongside current owners, EIFO (Export and Investment Fund of Denmark) and the Novo Nordisk Foundation, with the three companies pledging additional funding to boost Denmark’s AI infrastructure. The owners have said they will invest an additional DKK 500 million ($75 million) in DCAI to expand access to sovereign AI for businesses, public institutions, and researchers. Netcompany will invest DKK 325 million ($49m), while EIFO will provide DKK 150 million ($23m), provided by the Danish government. The Novo Nordisk Foundation remains the majority owner in DCAI with a 52.6 percent stake, but is open to bringing on additional owners. EIFO and Netcompany each hold a 23.7 percent stake. The investment also supports the ambition set out by the Danish government in 2026 to see the country become a frontrunner in the development and responsible application of AI. The DCAI is home to the country’s Gefion supercomputer, a 66.6 petaflops system named after the Norse goddess of agriculture. Hosted at a Digital Realty data center in Copenhagen, the supercomputer was installed by Eviden, an Atos Group company. Made up of 191 DGX H100 systems with a total of 1,528 Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPUs and 382 Intel Xeon Platinum CPUs connected by Quantum 2 InfiniBand, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and the king of Denmark inaugurated Gefion in October 2024. “AI is fundamentally changing our economy and society, and within only five years, we expect the demand for AI capacity in Denmark to increase at least sixfold. Danish access to a strong and sovereign AI infrastructure is therefore essential. By investing further in DCAI, we are building on what we have already created and quickly securing more AI capacity anchored in Denmark – and with perspectives that extend into Europe,” said Peder Lundquist, CEO, EIFO.
