Munich, Germany – June 09, 2025. Genesis Cloud is proud to announce its official support and participation since February this year in the EU AI Champions Initiative, an ambitious Europe-wide coalition to accelerate AI adoption, modernize digital infrastructure, and reinforce Europe’s strategic autonomy in the AI era. Led by General Catalyst and supported by more than 70 leading European companies representing $3+ trillion in public market cap and over 3.7M jobs across Europe, the initiative marks a turning point in Europe's digital future and reinforces Europe’s strategic autonomy in the AI era.
This announcement comes at a time when much of the productivity gap between Europe and the U.S. is no longer about innovation or research, but about infrastructure. From Stable Diffusion and Mistral, to Aleph Alpha, LLaMA’s origins at Meta AI Paris, Europe has consistently shaped the foundation of global AI progress. Yet the infrastructure to scale and retain this innovation has lagged. That’s the gap we’re helping to close.
“By aggregating our GPU-powered datacenter partners with our secure cloud backend, we transform Europe’s fragmented compute landscape into a single powerful public AI cloud. Our best practice network topology lets any GPU datacenter easily plug in to our AI cloud ecosystem, so enterprises gain effortless, economical, and fully compliant access to European AI services. We strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty by building the backbone for the next generation of European innovation. We invite partners, investors, and enterprises to shape it together with us.” Dr. Stefan Schiefer, CEO, Genesis Cloud.
As a Munich-based company, Genesis Cloud was founded to provide exactly this missing layer, a purpose-built GPU cloud for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) use cases like deep learning, LLM training, and GenAI, offering easy access to scalable, cost-efficient infrastructure for both AI startups and enterprise teams. From the beginning, we have focused on creating an easy, efficient, and accessible GPU cloud platform tailored to builders, especially startups and innovators, with enterprise-grade features built in from day one.
Our infrastructure includes a wide range of available GPUs, including NVIDIA H100, H200, and B200 GPUs, as well as flexible multi-node clusters, optimized for AI training, fine-tuning, and inference, available on-demand and at the best price-performance ratio in the market. Designed from the ground up for modern workloads, our cloud delivers near bare-metal performance, downtime-free updates, and enterprise-grade security.
We are also committed to sustainability. Customers have the option to power workloads using renewable energy, ensuring their compute is both efficient and environmentally responsible, a critical consideration as Europe scales its digital footprint.
Our participation in the EU AI Champions Initiative is more than symbolic, it’s strategic. In Europe, we’ve often tried to scale digital innovation without laying the infrastructure foundation and creating a supportive environment. As a result, we’ve seen too many bold projects fade or exit the continent entirely. Genesis Cloud was created to fix that, to give builders the tools, power, and platform they need to scale here in Europe, for Europe. In other words, to offer a sovereign, reliable, and future-ready infrastructure layer for the next generation of European AI.
As part of our long-term vision, we also ensure that scaling Europe’s AI future doesn’t come at the planet’s expense. Providing the option to run workloads on renewable energy and using the latest energy-efficient infrastructure, we enable climate-conscious innovation at cloud scale.
We are honored to stand alongside an exceptional list of partners and supporters across technology, industry, and policy - including Airbus, Celonis, Dassault Systèmes, Deel, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Telekom, EDF, E-On, Exor, Flix, Kering, L’Oréal Group, Lufthansa, Novo Nordisk, Personio, Philips, Renault Group, Sanofi, SAP, Siemens, Spotify, Volkswagen Gruppe, and many more - to shape a new phase of economic growth, digital sovereignty, and AI leadership in Europe.
