Nebius brings NVIDIA Blackwell to Israel with one of the country’s first AI infrastructure deployments
Amsterdam, October 20, 2025 — Nebius today unveiled Nebius AI Cloud in its new AI data center in Israel, a state-of-the-art facility housing one of the country’s first publicly available deployments of NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.
The deployment will enable local startups, tech companies and research institutes to access advanced compute for training, fine-tuning and inference. It will boost Israel’s digital infrastructure with one of the largest GPU cloud deployments in the country and the first based on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, comprising 4,000 NVIDIA HGX B200s, NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand networking, and access to the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack including NVIDIA NIM microservices and NeMo AI agent lifecycle tools.
Located at a colocation facility in Modiin, the deployment is part of Nebius’s global AI infrastructure rollout, following similar deployments across Europe and the US. The new site integrates cutting-edge hardware and software infrastructure, including advanced cooling systems, energy management, and data control mechanisms designed for intensive AI workloads.
