Netcompany backs Danish AI supercomputer with DKK 325m

Netcompany is investing DKK 325 million in the Danish Centre for AI Innovation (DCAI), the operator of Denmark's Gefion AI supercomputer. The investment is part of a wider DKK 500 million funding round that also includes EIFO and the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

The new capital will go toward expanding AI computing infrastructure and related technology, and toward building out the organisation behind the platform. The stated aim is to widen access to what the investors describe as sovereign AI for companies, public bodies and researchers in Denmark.

DCAI's chief executive, Martin Svensson, framed the move as a shift in how the supercomputer is used. When Gefion was inaugurated in 2024, he said, the main task was training large AI models. Now, companies and public organisations are building AI into their products and workflows, and a new generation of AI agents is taking on more complex tasks. With the new funding, he said, DCAI will be able to build modern AI capacity that public institutions and businesses can trust and adopt, not least where data is sensitive or regulated.

The round matters because it points Gefion beyond model training toward everyday use by Danish businesses and public bodies, including in settings where data handling is subject to strict requirements. It also brings a major IT company, a state-backed investor and a large foundation together behind a Danish-based AI infrastructure.
