OpenAI is joining forces with two European companies to set up a data center in Norway, the ChatGPT maker’s first project of this kind on the continent as it seeks to expand artificial-intelligence infrastructure outside the U.

OpenAI said Thursday that it plans to launch Stargate Norway, its first AI data center in Europe, in partnership with British AI cloud infrastructure provider Nscale and Norwegian energy infrastructure firm Aker.

OpenAI said it is launching a Stargate AI data center in Norway which will be designed and built by Nscale and Aker.
