TensorX raises €8M to build sovereign AI inference for Europe on Nvidia Blackwell
TensorX, an Irish startup, has raised €8M to purchase Nvidia Blackwell B300 GPUs and expand its GDPR-compliant AI inference platform across Europe. The platform targets regulated industries — banks, hospitals, and law firms — that cannot send data outside European jurisdiction. It supports over 33 open-weight models and offers an OpenAI-compatible API. The funding comes primarily from Darius Cubed Ventures, with most capital going toward hardware rather than headcount. TensorX operates from Dublin and Helsinki, with expansion planned across Ireland, UK, Germany, France, and the Nordics. The article also notes the inherent tension in 'sovereign AI' claims when the underlying silicon stack remains American (Nvidia) and Asian.
