Shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) edged about 1.5% higher on Monday morning after the company announced an expansion of their AI partnership.
The two firms will open an AI factory lab in Grenoble, France, designed to let customers test and refine AI workloads using HPE servers, networking, and Nvidia accelerated computing in a controlled, sovereign environment.
HPE also plans a Private AI Lab in London with Carbon3.ai and is expanding its HPE Unleash AI partner program, which now includes CrowdStrike (CRWD), to accelerate enterprise AI adoption in the U.K.
Executives said the labs will allow clients to validate performance, compliance, and data sovereignty before full-scale deployments, helping companies navigate regulatory hurdles and speed AI implementation.
The labs are part of HPE’s broader effort to provide turnkey AI factory stacks that simplify deployment across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments.
Analysts say the move could give enterprises a faster, safer path to scale AI operations globally while showcasing HPE and Nvidia’s combined infrastructure capabilities.
