IT infrastructure: High demand: Telekom is investing another quarter of a billion in an AI factory in Munich

The reason: Deutsche Telekom is continuing to expand its AI factory. According to its own statements, the group wants to invest almost a quarter of a billion euros and expand the system from ten to 20 megawatts. According to Höttges, with “Tucherpark 2”, as Telekom calls the current expansion stage, the capacities at the location have been used up, but “Tucherpark 3” is in the planning stage and will be announced soon.

The fact that Wildberger and Reiche came to Munich for the appointment shows the relevance of Telekom's commitment. The AI ​​factory is an important building block for the federal government on the way to becoming the “AI Nation 2030”. Wildberger and Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced the expansion of German computing capacity as an important goal at the digital summit last week.

With this expansion, Telekom is responding to the high demand for AI computing power. The first expansion stage of the so-called Industrial AI Cloud was only put into operation in February after six months of renovation - and was already fully booked seven months later. Further AI chips from the latest Nvidia generation Blackwell B300 are now to be added and will go into operation in May. RTX Pro 6000 chips will also continue to be used.
