The proposals, in which 15 Member States and two associated countries (Türkiye and Norway) participate, will be evaluated by a panel of independent experts and The selection of the first factories is scheduled for December.
According to a statement, Cyprus and Slovenia submitted letters of interest to join or create an AI factory at a later stage, with February 1, 2025 being the next deadline for subsequent proposals.
According to Brussels, AI factories are dynamic ecosystems that promote innovation, collaboration and development in the field of artificial intelligence.
These factories will create cutting-edge generative AI models and serve as hubs that drive advances in AI applications in key domains, from healthcare to energy and manufacturing to meteorology.
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EC EuroHPC) launched two calls for expressions of interest on September 10 to select host entities that will host and operate AI-optimized supercomputers, AI experimental platforms and AI factories across Europe.
