New AI factories sites selected across the EU

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has selected six more sites across the EU to host AI factories.

AI Factories are dynamic ecosystems that foster innovation, collaboration, and development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The commission identified the establishment of AI factories as priorities towards he objective of turning Europe into an AI Continent.

The first seven factories sites have been selected in December 2024 (Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Sweden). The newly selected six are set to be deployed next year in Austria, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Poland, and Slovenia.

The selection of these sites is the result of two successful submissions under EUROHPC-2024-CEI-AI-01 call and four under EUROHPC-2024-CEI-AI-02 call. The next cut-off deadline for additional proposals is 2^nd May 2025.  

The European Commission is committed to the development of trustworthy AI that respects EU values and rules, in line with the AI act. AI Factories leverage the supercomputing capacity of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking to develop trustworthy cutting-edge generative AI models.
