PALO ALTO, CALIF. & LUXEMBOURG CITY, LU — October 22, 2025 - SambaNova, a next-gen AI infrastructure leader, today announced that Infercom will use SambaManaged to launch Europe’s first sovereign Inference-as-a-Service platform. The agreement will see Infercom deploy the SambaManaged platform across strategic European locations, with the first rollout planned in November 2025 before expanding to additional sites across the region.

As European organizations accelerate adoption of large language models and multimodal AI, demand is rising for high-performance infrastructure that guarantees sovereignty and regulatory compliance. Until now, inference services in Europe have largely relied on U.S. hyperscalers and legacy GPU-based solutions, which can pose challenges around cost, latency, energy use, and data residency. Infercom’s new platform, powered by SambaNova, delivers a faster, more efficient, and fully sovereign alternative.

“Infercom’s new Inference-as-a-Service platform, built on SambaNova, directly addresses the growing demand from European startups, enterprises, and public sector organizations for sovereign, energy-efficient AI infrastructure,” said Rodrigo Liang, CEO and co-founder of SambaNova. “Europe needs sovereign, enterprise-grade AI infrastructure that delivers on regulatory, security, and performance expectations - and we’re proud to help make that a reality.”

By combining SambaNova’s full-stack platform with Infercom’s European-first deployment strategy, organizations across the continent can run state-of-the-art large language models with confidence - faster, more efficiently, and with full control over their data and models.

Key Advantages for European Organizations:

• European data sovereignty: Ensures all data storage, processing, and model execution remain within European borders, supporting GDPR, the EU AI Act, and other compliance needs.

• High-speed inference: Optimized for large language models and multimodal workloads, delivering low latency and high throughput.

• Flexible consumption models: Serving EU startups, enterprise and public sector with token-based inference as a service through to dedicated racks for fully private inference.

• Reduced footprint and energy usage: Higher efficiency than GPU-based solutions.

• Operational simplicity: Unified API, SLAs, and managed operations so organizations can focus on AI outcomes, not hardware.

“Our mission is to build the infrastructure backbone for Europe’s next generation of AI applications while preserving data sovereignty,” said Altug Eker, Managing Director of Infercom. “With SambaNova technology, we have the performance and efficiency to offer a differentiated, compliant Inference-as-a-Service. Together we will accelerate innovation across industry, research, and government by providing a fast, secure, and European-centric platform.”

Organizations interested in pilot programs, early access, or bespoke deployments can contact Infercom today to prepare for the November launch.
