JUPITER - first European Exascale computer acquired through Digital Europe
The Digital Europe programme provides funds for the acquisition of JUPITER, the first exascale computer in Europe.
JUPITER will contain high-powered, energy efficient processors, including also first prototypes of ‘made in the EU’ processors. Its computing power will support the development of high-precision models of complex systems and applications, such as:
- training large language models in AI
- running simulations for better, stronger, lighter materials
- creating digital twins of the human heart or brain for medical purposes
- complex climate simulations that take into account all of Earth’s systems
After its installation in the second half of 2024, JUPITER will be made available to the scientific community, industries, and the public sector across Europe. Hundreds of applications will be run in areas such as climate change and weather forecasting, material science, bio-engineering, and training large language models. Jupiter will be accessible to startups across Europe to train and deploy generative AI models.
Once operational JUPITER joins the existing supercomputers of the EuroHPC JU already in operation: MareNostrum in Spain, LEONARDO in Italy, LUMI in Finland, Discoverer in Bulgaria, MeluXina in Luxembourg, Vega in Slovenia, Karolina in Czechia, and Deucalion in Portugal – all combining to put a total of almost two billion billion calculations per second, thus confirming Europe as a world supercomputing power.

Avia-GIS - Software Technologies for a Healthier World
Avia-GIS is a Belgian innovative SME established in 2001. They have built research and public authority trust over the past 19 years and developed a unique, disruptive software suite - VECMAP® - that supports society to overcome one of its important health threats, the spreading of Pests of Public Health importance.
With the help of a Horizon 2020 SME Instrument Phase 2 project, they will be able to add Integrated Pest Management functionalities and go to the market. With the grant, that was an essential component of their second investment round, Avia-GIS aims at raising its revenue from the current 2 M€ to 14.2 M€ in 2024, and increase the headcount from 15 to 58.
