The Danish Centre for AI Innovation (DCAI), operator of the Gefion supercomputer, is receiving a €67 million (DKK 500 million) investment. Netcompany is joining as a new shareholder with €43.6 million (DKK 325 million), and existing investor EIFO is adding €20.1 million (DKK 150 million).
The Novo Nordisk Foundation is also raising its commitment and will keep a majority stake. After completion, the Foundation will hold 52.6 per cent of DCAI, while EIFO and Netcompany will each own 23.7 per cent. Netcompany will have a seat on the board and the usual minority shareholder rights.
The partners want to build a shared, sovereign national AI platform that lowers barriers to advanced AI adoption. They are targeting public institutions, regulated industries and smaller businesses, with the aim of moving organisations from AI experimentation to real-world use. DCAI's infrastructure will be combined with Netcompany's experience in developing and operating complex, society-critical digital systems.
Gefion was inaugurated in 2024, when the main task was training large AI models. Companies and public bodies are now building AI into products and workflows, and a new generation of AI agents is taking on more complex tasks. DCAI plans to build capacity that organisations can trust, particularly where data is sensitive or regulated.
Gefion already serves users in defence, research, academia, healthcare and industry. Market analysis points to an addressable market many times DCAI's current scale, which the partners see as room for further capacity expansion.
The investment supports the ambition in Denmark's 2026 government platform to become a frontrunner in developing and responsibly applying AI. The government intends to provide €20 million (DKK 150 million) through EIFO to increase public commitment.
"The real value of Gefion will not be measured in computing power alone. It will be measured by what Denmark and Europe are able to build with it," said André Rogaczewski, CEO of Netcompany.
