Verne says that Nebius, a leading global AI infrastructure provider, will be colocating a cluster of NVIDIA H200 GPUs at Verne’s data center campus in Iceland. This collaboration marks the largest single implementation in Verne Iceland’s history, with Nebius deploying a 10MW cluster.

This installation is part of Nebius’ ambitious build-out of AI infrastructure across the US and Europe, supporting its mission to provide scalable, energy-efficient solutions for intensive AI workloads. As one of Europe’s leading providers of GPU capacity, Nebius selected Verne for its proven expertise, renewable energy-driven operations, and ability to meet precise technical and geographical requirements.

Verne’s Icelandic facility, uniquely located on a former NATO base and powered entirely by Iceland’s 100% renewable hydroelectric and geothermal energy resources, aligns perfectly with Nebius’ approach to adopting sustainability principles in its infrastructure while delivering top-tier performance.

“Alongside Verne’s scalable infrastructure and Iceland’s renewable energy resources, our shared understanding of NVIDIA architecture provides the perfect foundation for Nebius to scale its full-stack AI infrastructure and cloud services,” said Dominic Ward, CEO, Verne. “This partnership with Nebius underscores our ability to provide sustainable data center services quickly and at scale across the Nordics, supporting the AI industry's rapid growth while minimising its environmental impact.”

“Partnering with Verne has been a natural choice,” said Andrey Korolenko, Co-founder and Chief Product and Infrastructure Officer at Nebius. “Their technical expertise and ease and flexibility in meeting our deployment needs allow us to bring our AI-centric solutions to market quickly and sustainably. This collaboration is an important addition to our capacity as we continue building out our full-stack AI-native infrastructure to meet the demands of AI builders and businesses globally.”
