Wallenbergarna och andra miljarder ska styra länder i världen.
This investment in hydrogen takes on even greater relevance in light of the Wallenberg Foundations' significant investments in AI and supercomputing in Linköping. In collaboration with major Swedish industrial players such as AstraZeneca, Ericsson, Saab, and SEB, Wallenberg Investments has partnered with Nvidia to build Sweden’s first industrial AI supercomputer, based on Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell GB300 architecture.
Two NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD systems will be installed, making this the largest AI infrastructure in Sweden dedicated to industrial applications. The systems will enable cutting-edge AI development in fields such as pharmaceuticals, defense, telecommunications, and finance. In addition, Nvidia will establish its first AI Technology Center in Sweden, focusing on advanced AI research, education, and collaboration with industry partners.
The driving force behind this development is the fact that AI requires vast amounts of energy and highly stable, rapid electricity supply – something hydrogen-based energy storage can help provide. Hydrogen acts as a flexible energy buffer, enabling local power generation even when the grid is overloaded or renewable output is low.
This new AI cluster builds on previous Swedish efforts such as Berzelius, the supercomputer at Linköping University, also funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The new infrastructure is expected to be operational by 2026 and will significantly strengthen Sweden’s position in the global AI landscape.
Together, the investments in hydrogen and AI demonstrate how Linköping is positioning itself at the intersection of green energy and digital innovation – showing how energy storage and high technology are interconnected in the new industrial era.
