Europe's AI Future: Luxembourg selected to host AI Factories
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) selected the sites that will host the first European AI Factories, set to be deployed next year across Europe: in Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Sweden.
These first seven AI Factories will pool together European Union (EU) and national resources. This represents a collaborative effort from across 17 European countries, with many consortia involving multiple participating countries. The EuroHPC AI Factories initiative is designed to create a robust and interconnected network of AI hubs. Acting as one-stop shops, they will offer AI startups, SMEs, and researchers comprehensive support, including access to AI-optimised high-performance computing (HPC) resources, training, and technical expertise.
The selection of these seven hosting entities, who will operate the new AI Factories on behalf of the EuroHPC JU, will enable cutting-edge research and applications, provide industry access to advanced AI tools, and foster innovation in areas like healthcare, energy, and climate.
Luxembourg (L-AI Factory)
Luxembourg’s AI Factory is intended to confirm the country’s position as European leader in artificial intelligence.
Designed to address critical challenges faced by AI users in strategic sectors such as finance, space, cybersecurity, and the green economy, the AI Factory aims to offer rapid onboarding and personalised support for all enterprises, especially startups and SMEs.
At its core is MeluXina-AI, an AI-optimised supercomputer that would deliver unparalleled computing, data, and connectivity capabilities.
Bringing together expertise from Luxinnovation, the Luxembourg National Data Service (LNDS), the University of Luxembourg (Uni.lu), the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) under the coordination of LuxProvide and supported by key national partners, the AI Factory is meant to amplify Luxembourg’s commitment to innovation.
MeluXina- AI will be hosted and operated by BCLD-member LuxProvide, and will be located in Bissen, next to the existing EuroHPC MeluXina supercomputer.
Through this initiative, Luxembourg wants to further pursue the European agenda on digital transformation, supporting competitiveness, innovation, resilience, and sovereignty.
