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 Which social-practical usage do AI gigafactories have - do they lower the cost of living for EU citizens? Nope, they do the complete opposite by being energy hungry blackholes bumping up energy and water prices.
Do they create jobs? Nope, they destroy more jobs and create an issue a future generation will suffer. Since CEOs replace entry level jobs with AI, there will be no senior workers when Gen X leaves the job market
Do they create profit? Only for shell firms and tax fraud
