EuroHPC has launched a call for proposals to select entities or consortia of entities to set up AI Factory Antennas. These will be linked to the selected AI Factories across Europe and will be involved in all activities related to them. Each individual Antenna will support an existing AI Factory in its country and will extend and complement services to strengthen the national AI ecosystem. The Antennas will also provide remote computing access to AI-optimised supercomputing resources. The total budget for the AI Factory Antenna call is €70 million. The deadline for proposals is the 9th of July 2025. 7. 2025.
The EU Commission and EuroHPC invite key stakeholders (industrial stakeholders, public and private investors and participating EU countries) to submit their ideas and express their interest in further developing AI GigaFactories to support the large-scale development of AI models in Europe. The deadline for application is the 20th June 2025 at 17:00 CET.
Also participating in the European network of AI Factories is the Slovenian AI Factory (SLAIF), which includes a new EuroHPC AI-optimized supercomputer hosted at the Arnes Data Center in Maribor.
