Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ: CBRS) announced plans to expand its infrastructure in Europe, targeting 200 megawatts of AI compute capacity by the end of 2027, according to a press release issued July 9, 2026.

The company said it expects to bring its first European data center capacity online by the end of 2026, with additional buildout planned in France, Norway, and Finland. A portion of the capacity is expected to support OpenAI workloads under an existing partnership between the two companies.

"We are contracting significant capacity for 2027, with data centers slated for Norway and Finland as we actively build across Europe," said CEO Andrew Feldman. "These deployments will enable us to move decisively on what our customers have been asking for: fast, high-performance AI compute located in Europe."

Feldman made the announcement while appearing at the RAISE Summit in Paris, where he participated in a session alongside Sachin Katti of OpenAI.

"Our customers don't just want AI compute. They want it close to home, powered responsibly, and available fast," Feldman added.
