SambaNova is proud to be partnering with Infercom to launch a European sovereign inference cloud. Europe needs to massively scale their AI workloads in the next five years and Infercom is poised to be the go-to provider in Germany and the broader European market.
What is the vision behind Infercom and the opportunity in the European market?
The opportunity is clear: Europe has incredible AI innovation but relies heavily on non-European infrastructure. As Europe’s sovereign AI inference provider, our mission is to solve this. We’re building infrastructure across Europe where all data remains under European jurisdiction. Companies want to innovate with AI without compromising data sovereignty or compliance — we deliver both high-performance inference and full sovereignty. This is the gap we fill.
What convinced you that SambaNova was the right partner for this foundational step?
Your culture stood out: partner-focused, collaborative, transparent, and responsive. When we needed support, you were there immediately. SambaNova doesn't just sell hardware — you build lasting partnerships. That trust was crucial at this foundational stage, and you’ve been that partner from day one.
Why is sovereign AI critical for Germany and the broader region?
Europe must scale AI workloads 70x in the next five years, and the existing infrastructure can’t support this. Beyond capacity, where infrastructure resides matters. Businesses and governments need control under European regulations — data sovereignty is now mandatory. We’re particularly excited about sectors where sovereignty is non-negotiable.
What applications or innovations excite you most as developers build on Infercom?
Finance is pivotal: Banks and fintech require ironclad data security. Health systems need compliant infrastructure for AI tools, while research institutions demand serious compute power. Smart cities, government services, and defense — where absolute sovereignty is critical — are also key focus areas. This is where Infercom creates tangible impact.
What does success look like for Infercom in the European market?
Success means becoming Europe’s premier sovereign inference provider, with multiple nodes across multiple countries and full European coverage. We aim to achieve unicorn status within two to three years.
Why should developers and enterprises choose Infercom?
We’re European — headquartered in Luxembourg with initial capacity in Germany. Unlike non-European providers, we’re committed partners helping clients develop AI solutions and deliver fast AI services to their customers. Our differentiator is being Europe’s trusted AI ally.
What are you excited to see built with SambaNova-powered inference?
We envision European AI companies leveraging our SambaNova-powered inference to deliver solutions to European customers — free from regulatory or sovereignty concerns. This isn’t just our goal; it requires a community. We invite system integrators, developers, and enterprises to join us in building a truly European end-to-end inference ecosystem.
Conclusion
SambaNova and Infercom are deploying Germany’s first sovereign AI inference cloud — powered by SambaNova’s ultra-efficient Reconfigurable Dataflow Units (RDUs) — to deliver high-performance inference with an average of just 10 kW per rack.
