The key facts

  • Stockholm AI Lab will open in central Stockholm in 2027 in partnership between Nvidia and the Norrsken foundation
  • Nvidia will provide computing infrastructure, software tools, and access to its international startup network
  • The demonstration biotech lab will be run by Nvidia and the Stockholm startup Root Bio

A new hub in Stockholm

American chipmaker Nvidia will open an artificial intelligence center in Stockholm for startups working on problems in healthcare and climate. The project is being implemented in partnership with the Swedish non-profit foundation Norrsken, founded by Niklas Adalberth, co-founder of the payments company Klarna. The foundation supports startups solving social and environmental problems. According to the Norrsken announcement, the hub, called Stockholm AI Lab, will open in central Stockholm in 2027. Under one roof will be selected startups, Nvidia staff, and a demonstration biotechnology laboratory.

What participants will get

Nvidia will provide the project with computing infrastructure, software tools, and access to its international startup network. The partners do not disclose the amount of investment. The hub will offer participants separate offices and will hold events connecting founders with investors, researchers, industry representatives, and policymakers. "Right now these founders need the same thing every big movement needs: a place. A space where they can meet each other, their investors, their first customers, and gain confidence that they are not building their business alone," Adalberth said in the announcement. Nvidia's software tools will support work in robotics, simulation, and the life sciences.

Demonstration laboratory

The demonstration biotechnology laboratory will be jointly run by Nvidia and the Stockholm startup Root Bio, which uses AI to design molecules for biological applications, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to the partners, the lab will show how AI can automate discoveries in biology. They also plan to select additional demonstration partners in the fields of robotics, climate, healthcare, and industrial manufacturing. However, the announcement does not specify what equipment will be installed, how much computing power participants will receive, or how much access will cost.

Part of Nvidia's European strategy

The Stockholm project is part of Nvidia's broader presence in Europe, although the company's initiatives take different forms. In September 2025, in the United Kingdom, the company announced a robotics research and development center together with the industry association techUK, and it is also cooperating with the training company QA on developing AI and robotics skills. In June 2025, Nvidia announced the creation of new and expansion of existing AI technology centers in Germany, Italy, Spain, Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom to support research, training, and access to AI computing infrastructure.
