The European Commission has launched 13 AI Antennas to extend access to the bloc’s AI training hubs, connecting countries without their own AI Factory to EuroHPC’s supercomputing capacity. Seven EU members- Belgium, Cyprus, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Malta, Slovakia-and six non‑EU partners- Iceland, Moldova, Switzerland, the UK, North Macedonia, Serbia-will host physical facilities that provide local support while linking remotely to AI Factories. These antennas will offer algorithmic support, training, and access to AI talent, and ensure remote use of AI‑optimised supercomputers . Notably, the EU says there is currently no plan for these seven EU countries to host an AI Factory, and they are unlikely to be chosen for the more powerful AI Gigafactories . Key connections include Belgium and Hungary to Germany’s Jupiter ; Cyprus and Malta to Greece’s Pharos ; Latvia to Finland’s LUMI ; Ireland to France’s AI2F and Luxembourg’s AI Factory; Slovakia to Austria’s AI:AT . The UK will link to Germany’s HammerHAI (manufacturing-focused), while Switzerland will connect to multiple factories in Spain , Sweden , and Italy .
