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, right in the middle of the worst heatwaves SO FAR, with an upcoming even bleaker future, with half of Europe LITERALLY ON FIRE, the EU is going to donate billions to some of most climate-impacting and useless industries? Where did any of you get the idea that that was a smart thing to do?
How about you invest that money into gaining independence from the oil industry, given how impactful that has been already even in purely financial terms?

@HennaVirkkunen AI gigafactories, uhm yeah. You really don't understand what you're talking about. And I thought you did.
