Cerebras Systems is set to expand its data centre operations in Europe, targeting 200MW of AI compute capacity in the region by the end of 2027.
The company plans to bring its first European data centre capacity online before the end of 2026, with a quick build-out in France, Norway, and Finland.

Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise.
Part of this new capacity is designated to support OpenAI workloads, under an existing collaboration.
The move is intended to provide European users with high-speed AI inference infrastructure that can offer faster response times for complex AI applications.
Cerebras pointed to growing demand for local, low-latency AI infrastructure from enterprises, research institutions, and government bodies across Europe.
The company noted that as organisations seek alternatives to AI compute resources traditionally located in the US and Asia, providing regional infrastructure is increasingly important.
Cerebras Systems co-founder and CEO Andrew Feldman said: “We are contracting significant capacity for 2027, with data centres slated for Norway and Finland as we actively build across Europe. These deployments will enable us to move decisively on what our customers have been asking for: fast, high-performance AI compute located in Europe.
“Our customers don’t just want AI compute. They want it close to home, powered responsibly, and available fast. This expansion and capacity plan reflects our confidence in Europe as a long-term growth market for Cerebras.”
Cerebras Systems develops AI infrastructure centred around its wafer-scale architecture, which is designed to deliver high levels of performance for AI inference and training.
The company provides its solutions both on premises and through the cloud to support a range of clients, including global corporations, research institutes, and governments.
