Denmark adds DKK 500 million to Gefion supercomputer funding
Gefion’s operator says the machine is nearing full capacity, while Netcompany is joining the centre’s investors.
Denmark announced on 10 November 2026 that it would put a further DKK 500 million into Gefion, its AI supercomputer. The Export and Investment Fund of Denmark said the funding would cover infrastructure and operations at the machine’s operator, the Danish Centre for AI Innovation (DCAI).
DCAI says Gefion is close to reaching its capacity limit. The computer began operating in 2024, equipped with 1,528 Nvidia chips. Its initial funding amounted to DKK 700 million, supplied by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and Denmark’s state investment fund.
The announcement leaves open the timing of additional computing capacity and the detailed allocation of the money. Danish technology company Netcompany will join the investors in DCAI and supply software covering security, monitoring and access management.
Martin Lidegaard, Denmark’s minister for business and competitiveness, said giving researchers and companies more computing resources was intended to support new businesses and jobs. The initiative also seeks to allow businesses and public bodies to use AI while keeping sensitive data under their control.
