DCAI Secures €67Mn Investment from Netcompany and EIFO

The Danish Centre for AI Innovation (DCAI) is receiving a €67 million (DKK 500 million) investment. Of this amount, €43.6 million (DKK 325 million) will come from new investor Netcompany, while existing investor EIFO will contribute another €20.1 million (DKK 150 million).

SUMMARY

  • DCAI is receiving a €67 million (DKK 500 million) investment.
  • The investment will support the expansion of Denmark's Gefion supercomputer and AI infrastructure.
  • The Danish government also plans to invest an additional €20 million through EIFO to support AI development.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation is also increasing its investment and will remain the majority shareholder. After the investment, the Foundation will own 52.6% of DCAI, while Netcompany and EIFO will each hold a 23.7% stake.

Denmark has already built a strong AI foundation with its Gefion supercomputer. DCAI now wants to make this technology available to more businesses and organisations across the country. Its goal is to help them move beyond testing AI and start using it in their everyday operations.

Martin Svensson, CEO of DCAI, says: “When Gefion was inaugurated in 2024, the main task was to train large AI models. Today, 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. DCAI will now 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 real value of Gefion will not be measured in computing power alone. It will be measured by what Denmark and Europe are able to build with it,” says André Rogaczewski, CEO of Netcompany.

The investment also supports Denmark's plan to become a leading country in developing and using AI responsibly. This goal is part of the government's 2026 policy programme.

Denmark’s national AI infrastructure, with the Gefion supercomputer built from 1,528 NVIDIA H100 GPUs across 191 DGX systems, ranked #21 on the TOP500 list.

To support this plan, the Danish government intends to provide an additional €20 million (DKK 150 million) through EIFO, increasing public investment in AI development.
