May 15 (Reuters) – Argentum AI has signed a deal worth around $2.5 billion with cloud gaming firm ​Boosteroid and real estate company ‌DL Invest Group for a 300-megawatt data center in Europe, the artificial intelligence infrastructure provider told Reuters on Friday.

Under the ‌deal, ​Argentum said it will ⁠deploy graphics processing ⁠unit infrastructure in a data center, with the company expected to use tens of thousands of next-generation ​GPUs, including Nvidia’s Blackwell systems in the future.

The deal will be ⁠one of the ⁠largest independent AI infrastructure projects ​in the region. It comes as ​the tech industry rushes to secure ‌compute capacity to meet soaring demand, leading to the emergence of independent infrastructure providers such as Argentum.

The ⁠companies will formally announce the deal later on Friday.

Boosteroid has built and deployed dense ⁠GPU infrastructure ‌in 29 data centers ⁠across Europe and the Americas.

Argentum ​said ‌it is engaging with ​U.S. financial ⁠institutions and global investment banks to structure and provide large-scale financing to support hyperscale AI infrastructure deployments.
