Hypertec, a Canadian leader in sustainable AI infrastructure, has announced its expansion into Europe through a strategic alliance with global data center builder 5C Group and AI cloud platform provider Together AI. This move marks the trio’s first collaborative deployment outside North America, aimed at addressing Europe’s escalating demand for sovereign, regulation-ready AI infrastructure.
The initiative will roll out in late 2025 and continue through 2028, delivering up to 2 gigawatts (GW) of AI-focused data center capacity and deploying nearly 100,000 NVIDIA Blackwell and future-generation GPUs. The alliance is set to drive over $5 billion in private investment and will support frontier AI model training, inference workloads, and open-source generative AI development across Europe. Priority markets include France, the UK, Italy, and Portugal.
The partnership unites Hypertec’s expertise in sustainable AI hardware, 5C’s large-scale infrastructure capabilities, and Together AI’s robust cloud and open-source AI tools to create a vertically integrated, high-performance AI stack. This offering will serve enterprises, researchers, and AI-native companies with accelerated, cost-efficient, and regulation-compliant AI solutions.

“Europe is at a pivotal moment in taking its place in the future of AI,” said Simon Ahdoot, CEO of Hypertec. “Together with our strategic partners 5C and Together AI, we are investing in building one of the most sustainable and high-performance AI infrastructure platforms on the continent.”
The Honourable Evan Solomon, Canada’s Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, added: “Hypertec’s announcement in Europe embodies Canada’s ambition to make innovation and artificial intelligence… a true driver of sovereignty, prosperity, and global collaboration.”
The project will also contribute to Canada’s broader AI ambitions by supporting engineering innovation and workforce growth. Hypertec is exploring acquisitions and local partnerships to ensure alignment with Europe’s sustainability standards and digital sovereignty goals. The rollout includes 600MW of new capacity by 2026, as part of a larger 2 GW infrastructure plan through 2029.
