SambaNova, a next-generation AI infrastructure company, announced that Infercom will use its SambaManaged solution to launch Europe’s first sovereign Inference-as-a-Service platform, an initiative legally domiciled in Luxembourg and hosted in Germany to ensure that enterprise and public sector data remains fully within EU borders.
The agreement will see Infercom deploy the SambaManaged platform across strategic European locations, with the first rollout planned for November 2025 before expanding to additional sites across the region. The project represents a significant step toward AI sovereignty in Europe, combining compliance with high-performance infrastructure.
According to the companies, as European organisations accelerate the adoption of large language models and multimodal AI, demand is increasing for high-performance infrastructure that guarantees sovereignty and regulatory compliance. Until now, most inference services in Europe have relied on US hyperscalers and legacy GPU-based solutions, which have raised challenges related to cost, latency, energy use and data residency. The new platform developed by Infercom, powered by SambaNova, is designed to offer a faster, more efficient and fully sovereign alternative.
“Infercom’s new Inference-as-a-Service platform, built on SambaNova, directly addresses the growing demand from European startups, enterprises, and public sector organisations for sovereign, energy-efficient AI infrastructure,” said Rodrigo Liang, CEO and co-founder of SambaNova. “Europe needs sovereign, enterprise-grade AI infrastructure that delivers on regulatory, security, and performance expectations, and we’re proud to help make that a reality.”
By combining SambaNova’s full-stack platform with Infercom’s European-first deployment strategy, the partnership aims to enable organisations across the continent to run state-of-the-art large language models with greater efficiency, security and control over their data and systems.
The partnership outlined several key advantages for European organisations. These include ensuring that all data storage, processing and model execution remain within European borders, in line with GDPR, the EU AI Act and related compliance frameworks. The system is optimised for high-speed inference, supporting large language models and multimodal workloads with low latency and high throughput.
The solution also provides flexible consumption models designed for EU startups, enterprises and public sector institutions, from token-based inference-as-a-service options to dedicated racks for fully private inference. It is reported to deliver greater energy efficiency than GPU-based systems, while offering simplified operations through a unified API, service-level agreements and managed services.
“Our mission is to build the infrastructure backbone for Europe’s next generation of AI applications while preserving data sovereignty,” said Altug Eker, Managing Director of Infercom. “With SambaNova technology, we have the performance and efficiency to offer a differentiated, compliant Inference-as-a-Service. Together we will accelerate innovation across industry, research, and government by providing a fast, secure, and European-centric platform.”
