The EU is set to create 7 new AI factories around Europe. What are they and what will they do?
https://www.byteseu.com/580416/
"The Commission picked Barcelona, Spain; Bissen, Luxembourg; Bologna, Italy; Stuttgart, Germany; Mimer, Sweden; Kajaani, Finland; and Athens, Greece as new sites for the AI factories.
Existing supercomputer facilities in Spain will receive an upgrade and the AI factory in Greece will open with a supercomputer called the DAEDALUS that is already being used.
Each AI factory will concentrate on different areas of the EU economy: in Italy, some of the focus will be on agrifood and cybersecurity, whereas space and finance are the areas of focus in Luxembourg."
