Third wave of AI factories
This third wave of AI factories, supported by over €380 million of joint EU and Member State investment, will expand Europe’s high-performance computing capacity and accelerate the deployment of AI in key sectors. In total, the EU and participating EuroHPC countries have committed more than €2.7 billion to the AI Factories and Antennas initiative to make Europe a leading AI continent.
Factory antennas in seven Member States
At the same time, factory antennas have been selected in seven Member States: Belgium, Cyprus, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Malta and Slovakia. These antennas will work closely with AI factories to provide national AI communities with secure remote access to world-class AI-optimized high-performance computing capabilities. The network, fully integrated into the EuroHPC ecosystem, will expand access to AI talent, resources and innovation across Europe.
This supports the Action Plan for the AI Continent and complements the EU’s investment in future AI Gigafactories, large-scale facilities for the development and training of advanced AI models and frontier systems, while aligning with the AI Application Strategy to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence across the European economy and public sector.
