The procurement problem
European GPU procurement is opaque, fragmented and slow.
Fragmented market
Capacity is split across dozens of EU operators with inconsistent pricing, contracts and disclosure.
Sales-led discovery
Public benchmarks are scarce. Most teams compare three vendors they happened to meet at a conference.
Capacity volatility
Quoted lead times slip. Promised reservations can shift weeks before training begins.
REGULATORY WINDOW
Renewing your hyperscaler contract in 2026?
The EU Data Act eliminates egress fees for cloud switching from 12 January 2027. Egress costs have been the single largest financial barrier to moving European AI workloads off hyperscalers. That barrier disappears in under twelve months.
Compute Compass helps AI teams map EU alternatives before their renewal window, so the comparison is ready when the regulation takes effect. Submit your workload now and receive a shortlist timed to your current contract's renewal date.
Based on the EU Data Act as published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Implementation timing and final regulatory interpretation may vary; this is not legal advice. Buyers should verify regulatory status with qualified counsel before procurement decisions.
How it works
A four-step process designed for procurement, not marketing.
Describe your workload
Model size, training or inference profile, target region, compliance constraints, budget envelope and timeline.
Receive your shortlist
A scored shortlist of the top 3 EU GPU providers, delivered within 5 business days. Every shortlist is manually reviewed before delivery.
Compare what matters
Side-by-side view of pricing terms, hardware, jurisdiction, SLA posture and contractual flexibility.
Engage directly
We do not resell capacity. Provider introductions only happen with buyer approval. You contract directly with the provider you choose.
Evaluation framework
Transparent criteria. No paid ranking.
Compute Compass scores providers across five dimensions. You set the weights based on what matters most for your workload. Every shortlist shows the breakdown, so you understand exactly why a provider ranked where it did.
Providers cannot pay to alter shortlist position.
Read the framework →Workload fit
GPU type, memory profile, interconnect, throughput requirements, and workload archetype.
Total cost
GPU-hour pricing, storage, egress, support, reservation terms, and hidden operational costs.
Deployment risk
Capacity availability, lead time, contractual flexibility, onboarding effort, and reliability signals.
Compliance and data residency
Hosting jurisdiction, DPA availability, subprocessors, data-handling terms, and certifications referenced by the provider.
Operational maturity
Support model, SLA history, incident transparency, customer references, APIs, and infrastructure tooling.
You set the weights. Every shortlist applies the weights you chose during intake. A compliance-led team scores differently than a cost-led team. The breakdown is always visible.
Some criteria act as hard filters before scoring begins. See how filtering and weighting works →
Independence
Ranking is not for sale.
Compute Compass does not accept paid placement, referral fees or revenue share from GPU providers in exchange for shortlist position. Provider introductions only happen after buyer approval.
- Providers cannot pay to alter shortlist position. Revenue comes from a flat-fee verified-provider program, decoupled entirely from ranking.
- Provider introductions only happen with buyer approval. Compute Compass does not resell capacity and does not take a cut of the contract you sign.
Intake
Two intake paths. One neutral matching layer.
For AI teams
Replace weeks of procurement with one structured shortlist.
Submit your workload profile and receive a comparable shortlist of EU GPU providers matched to your fit, cost and EU data-residency constraints.
Start buyer intake →For GPU providers
Reach AI teams who already understand your differentiation.
Compute Compass sends you qualified European buyers who arrive with structured workload context, a budget range, a timeline, and stated data-residency requirements. Your first call starts at scoping, not discovery. We surface what makes you the right choice for a specific buyer, not just the cheapest option on a list.
- Buyer context arrives before any introduction: workload, GPU need, timeline, budget range, data requirements.
- Introductions only when both sides have opted in.
- Ranking is based on fit and your disclosed capabilities. Providers never pay for placement.
- Founding providers lock in preferential rates before the verified program launches.
