What are Europe's AI Factories? Inside the EU's High-Performance Computing Leap
Meanwhile in Europe - A podcast by Meanwhile in Europe

Dive into how Europe is equipping itself with world class and trustworthy AI capabilities and preparing for the quantum leap. This episode explores the EuroHPC initiative, which is building 13 AI Factories across 21 European countries to facilitate AI development for startups, SMEs, and researchers, covering over 30 industrial sectors, including 21 key ones. We'll talk about these ecosystems formed around supercomputers designed to train AI models in Europe and boost EU competitiveness and sustainable prosperity. We also delve into Europe's historic project to build the world’s first public network of 10 cutting-edge quantum computers. Discover how this initiative involves 29 partners from 17 European countries, integrates 6 different quantum technologies, and aims to help scientists break unsolvable problems, further boosting EU competitiveness, strategic autonomy and sustainable prosperity. The EU's investment in compute power and talent is key to turning Europe into a human-centric and ethical “AI Continent”.
