Netcompany invests in DCAI
DCAI was established by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and EIFO in 2024 and operates Gefion, Denmark's first AI supercomputer. Gefion provides advanced AI computing capacity to users in defence, research, healthcare and industry.
The investment forms part of a capital injection of approximately DKK 500 million by Netcompany, the Novo Nordisk Foundation and EIFO. Following completion, the Novo Nordisk Foundation holds 52.6% of DCAI, while Netcompany and EIFO each hold 23.7%.
The proceeds will support further investment in AI infrastructure and technology and strengthen DCAI's operational capabilities. The partnership aims to expand access to secure and sovereign AI for businesses, public institutions and researchers, particularly where data is sensitive or regulated.
Netcompany will contribute its experience in developing and operating society-critical IT systems, together with its Feniks Governance platform, to support the secure deployment and operation of AI at scale.
