The European Commission announced today the launch of AI Factories Antennas in seven member states, including Cyprus, providing national artificial intelligence communities with secure remote access to cutting-edge supercomputers.
The member states hosting the new centres are Belgium, Cyprus, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Malta and Slovakia. Additionally, associated countries including Iceland, Moldova, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, North Macedonia and Serbia will host such centres.
The new centres will work closely with existing AI Factories, offering national artificial intelligence communities secure remote access to cutting-edge supercomputers optimised for AI applications. Fully integrated into the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking ecosystem, the centres aim to expand access to talent, infrastructure and innovation in artificial intelligence across Europe.
Last Friday, the Commission also announced a major expansion of European AI infrastructure, adding six new AI Factories to the existing network, bringing the total to 19 centres across 16 member states.
During her visit to the Western Balkans, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced today the new centres in Serbia and North Macedonia, providing companies in the region with access to European artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Today’s announcement forms part of the Commission’s AI Continent Action Plan and complements EU investments in future AI Gigafactories—large-scale facilities dedicated to developing and training advanced artificial intelligence models and systems. It also aligns with the Apply AI Strategy, which aims to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence in the European economy and public sector.
