The AI Gigafactories call is now open.
Today, we launched a call for tenders to establish up to 7 AI Gigafactories across Europe, boosting Europe’s computing capacity and unlocking more than €30 billion in investment.
I am pleased to see Member States, industry, and the Commission coming together to build these facilities, which are key to strengthening our technological sovereignty.
This is a milestone for Europe in becoming an AI Continent.

@HennaVirkkunen Seriously… reconsider this.
You're already fighting wildfires on a scale similar to that which devastated Canberra almost 25 years ago. Bordeaux, France is literally getting roasted as I type this, and it's only a matter of time before leaf litter gets hoovered up by that firestorm weather system and starts firebombing the place.
Massive heat generating facilities like "AI" datacentres Will Only Make This Worse!
