The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking has adopted an update to its 2026 Work Programme, securing funding for AI Gigafactories and clarifying the conditions for its allocation.

Funding for the AI Gigafactories will combine EU funding, contributions from participating countries, and private investments. EU financial support comes from three EU programmes: Digital Europe Programme, Horizon Europe and Connecting Europe Facility - Digital.

The planned EU contribution amounts to €1 billion in total and is expected to cover 17% of the estimated construction costs of the AI Gigafactories.

The next steps expected include securing funding commitments from interested countries, joint procurement by EuroHPC JU and participating countries to select the best offers, and signing hosting agreements with selected consortia.

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
