TensorX Raises €8M for EU AI Infrastructure, Committing €4M to Nvidia Blackwell GPUs

Summary
€8 million in seed funding is backing Irish startup TensorX as it builds a privacy-first AI inference platform designed to keep enterprise data inside EU borders.
€4 million of that capital is already committed to Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, including B300 chips, with TensorX planning a broader €100 million infrastructure rollout from bases in Dublin and Helsinki.
33-plus open-source models run on dedicated EU-sovereign hardware with zero data retention, a setup aimed at regulated sectors such as financial services and healthcare that must meet GDPR and the EU AI Act.
Tim Grant said demand is being driven by board-level concerns over where AI data sits, who can access it and whether reliance on non-EU model providers creates business continuity risks.
Ireland’s talent base and EU membership make it TensorX’s launchpad for Europe, though electricity costs remain a major constraint on scaling next-generation data centres.
