Berlin, November 18, 2025 — PhysicsX and Deutsche Telekom today announced a three-year strategic partnership to accelerate the deployment of AI-native engineering capabilities for Europe’s industrial base. The announcement was made during the EU AI Champions Initiative Roundtable at the Summit on European Digital Sovereignty, co-hosted by the governments of Germany and France.
The collaboration builds on Deutsche Telekom’s Industrial AI Cloud — the world’s first enterprise-grade AI factory for industry, developed with NVIDIA and coming online in Q1 2026 — and PhysicsX’s role as a launch partner.
As part of the agreement, PhysicsX will leverage Deutsche Telekom's sovereign, high-performance Industrial AI Cloud to advance the scale and capability of its physics foundation models and core product offerings. The partnership will also enable turnkey deployments of the PhysicsX AI-native engineering platform directly on the Industrial AI Cloud. As one of Europe’s leading systems integrators, T-Systems will support fast and seamless onboarding for European industrial companies onto both the cloud and the PhysicsX platform. PhysicsX and T-Systems will also mobilize forward-deployed engineering squads at customers to build powerful engineering, manufacturing, and production workflows and applications.
Europe’s competitiveness depends on its ability to innovate faster. This partnership brings together the three critical pillars required to unlock that acceleration: sovereign, scaled AI compute within the Industrial AI Cloud; a robust AI-native engineering simulation software stack in the PhysicsX platform; and an integrated deployment engine powered by T-Systems and PhysicsX forward-deployed engineers.
“PhysicsX is turning AI into a true engineering partner,” said Timotheus Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom AG. “With its deep physics model, the company enables manufacturers and mid-sized businesses to design and optimize products faster and more intelligently, strengthening their ability to innovate and compete. We are proud that PhysicsX is training its models in our new AI factory, and that we will jointly take the solutions to the market.”
“I’m incredibly excited for this strategic partnership and for what it enables across Europe’s industrial landscape,” said Jacomo Corbo, CEO & Co-Founder of PhysicsX. “Through this collaboration, we will train our largest foundation models on Deutsche Telekom’s Industrial AI Cloud, and work with T-Systems to rapidly onboard industrial customers onto both the cloud and the PhysicsX platform. Together, we are equipping Europe’s industrial companies to build powerful private foundation models and AI-enabled engineering and manufacturing workflows. Europe is reindustrializing — and this partnership provides the foundational hardware and AI software stack to make that transformation real.”
