AI supercomputer for Denmark

“Gefion” AI supercomputer, built by Eviden, inaugurated as one of the world’s most powerful in Denmark.

Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in advanced computing, announces the inauguration of Denmark’s AI supercomputer, named “Gefion”. In March this year, Eviden signed a contract with the Danish Centre for AI Innovation, which is owned by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark.

The inauguration ceremony was opened by His Majesty King Frederik X, Jensen Huang (CEO, NVIDIA), Morten Bødskov (Minister of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs), Nadia Carlsten (CEO, Danish Centre for AI Innovation), Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen (CEO, Novo Nordisk Foundation), Peder Lundquist (CEO, Export and Investment Fund of Denmark), and Emmanuel Le Roux (Head of Global Big Data & Security at Eviden, Atos Group).

The supercomputer is designed to cater to large-scale projects that utilize artificial intelligence and prioritize the highest level of security to support Danish data sovereignty. It is expected to be one of the most powerful AI supercomputers in the world. Its goal is to accelerate research and innovation in various fields such as healthcare, life sciences, and the green transition.

The supercomputer will be housed in Denmark’s newly established national centre for AI innovation and will provide researchers from Denmark’s public and private sectors access to an advanced supercomputer optimized for AI.
