Poznań is poised for a technological leap that will reshape not only the city but potentially all of Central Europe. Thanks to a landmark partnership between Kulczyk Investments and Nvidia, Poznań will soon host one of the most powerful supercomputers in the region. This venture, rooted in cutting-edge AI technology and strong local expertise, is set to redefine data processing, artificial intelligence development, and tech-driven innovation in Poland and beyond.
A Strategic Alliance: Kulczyk Investments Meets Nvidia
Kulczyk Investments, one of Poland’s most influential private investment firms, has officially entered a strategic partnership with Nvidia, the American global leader in GPU technology and AI solutions. Together, they aim to build a supercomputer in Poznań based on Nvidia’s revolutionary Blackwell chip architecture.
The facility will be operated by Beyond.pl, a member of the Kulczyk Investments group, which has been a key player in the Polish data services market for nearly two decades.
We have signed a strategic partnership with Nvidia. We are the first in the region to build a supercomputer based on Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, located in Poznań. It will be ‘GPU as a service,’ ensuring data sovereignty, processed in Poland, within the European Union, under local law.
announced, Dawid Jakubowicz, CEO of Kulczyk Investments, speaking during the European Economic Congress in Katowice.
This supercomputer will rank among the top ten most powerful machines in Central Europe, offering GPU-based cloud computing services with a special emphasis on data protection.
What is Kulczyk Investments?
Founded by Polish entrepreneur Jan Kulczyk and now led by his successors, Kulczyk Investments is a major international investment house with a strong Polish identity. The company focuses on sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and new technologies. Beyond its business ventures, the group also plays a vital role in supporting cultural and social initiatives in the Greater Poland region. The arrival of a supercomputer in Poznań adds a new technological dimension to Kulczyk Investments’ already considerable influence in the region.
Who Are Nvidia and Beyond.pl?
Nvidia needs little introduction. Founded in 1993, this Silicon Valley giant pioneered the development of graphics processing units (GPUs) and now leads the world in AI computing technologies. Its innovations underpin everything from autonomous vehicles to climate modelling to medical research.
Meanwhile Beyond.pl is Kulczyk Investments’ flagship in data centre operations. It runs two ultra-modern facilities in Poznań and has been trusted for years by sectors requiring the highest levels of security and efficiency, such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce. Currently expanding its campus capacity to 150 MW, Beyond.pl is positioning itself to meet the massive energy and infrastructure demands of the new supercomputer.
This expansion will allow Poznań to become a competitive player in hosting global cloud services, giving local industries unprecedented access to state-of-the-art technologies.
Blackwell Architecture: Nvidia’s Game Changer
The Blackwell chip architecture, announced by Nvidia in 2024, is designed specifically for massive AI workloads. The Blackwell B200 GPUs promise a huge performance leap, boasting significant improvements in both processing power and energy efficiency compared to previous generations.
Integrating this technology into Poznań’s new supercomputer means that AI developers, researchers, and companies across Europe will be able to tap into unprecedented computational capacity. Machine learning, large-scale data analysis, scientific modelling — all these fields will benefit directly from what Kulczyk Investments and Nvidia are building.
Why It Matters for Poznań and Greater Poland
This project is not just about adding a shiny piece of technology to Poznań’s skyline. It has meaningful implications:
- Economic Growth: Global tech companies, start-ups, and research centres will be drawn to Poznań, boosting employment and investment opportunities.
- Educational Synergy: Universities in Poznań, such as Adam Mickiewicz University and Poznań University of Technology, will have new opportunities to collaborate on cutting-edge research.
- Data Sovereignty: All data will be processed within Poland’s borders, following strict European privacy regulations, an increasingly critical factor in the digital economy.
- Green Tech Leadership: Thanks to Beyond.pl’s highly energy-efficient facilities, the project is aligned with sustainable development goals, an important point as Europe tightens environmental regulations.
We are pioneers. We believe in doing business, focusing on development and innovation, not being sidetracked by political turmoil. American companies want to do business, and so do we.
Dawid Jakubowicz stated.
A New Chapter for Poznań
Thanks to Kulczyk Investments’ forward-thinking approach and Nvidia’s technical might, Poznań is about to become a serious player in the European tech scene. This supercomputer will not only power the next generation of AI and data research but also strengthen the city’s position as an innovation hub — not just in Poland but across Central Europe.
