?? This is AI innovation #madeinEurope! ? Today the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has selected six additional proposals to establish AI Factories in the EU powered by EU’s world-class network of supercomputers. ? The newly selected AI Factories will be hosted in Austria, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Poland and Slovenia, supported by a combined national and EU investment of around €485 million. ? Together with the first selection of seven AI Factories, they will bring the key ingredients for AI innovation: computing power, data and talent, fully unlocking the potential of AI in Europe. ? The factories will enable AI companies, in particular SMEs and startups, as well as researchers, to enhance the training and development of large-scale trustworthy and ethical AI models. ?

Live at The digital imperative: Europe's path to innovation, security, and growth ?? In the words of Thibaut Kleiner, Director of Policy Strategy and Outreach at DG Connect: "You can think European as far as the digital is concerned. We have a vision. Maybe we have been a bit shy when it comes to digital products made in Europe, but nothing says we cannot make it." This is exactly what initiatives like IPCEI Cloud, 8ra - Cloud-Edge Continuum, NexusForum.EU, CISERO Project, European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud and many more are doing: taking the EU one step closer to its digital sovereignty objectives. OpenNebula Systems, among other European industrial players, as well as research institutions and universities is part of the change, helping to transform an ambitious idea into a tangible reality !?? #Innovation #StrategicAutonomy #DigitalSovereignty EU Digital & Tech

Many thanks to Patrizia Licata for the comprehensive article about the IPCEI Cloud that she has published today on the Italian edition of CIO Online ?? https://lnkd.in/d4SB6Nih ???? Italian industrial partners like the telco operator Tiscali are playing a critical role in developing the #opensource technologies that the EU needs to minimise its geostrategic dependency on #BigTech and to build a #sovereign digital infrastructure able to support the seamless deployment of #AI workloads across a ???? European multi-provider cloud-edge computing continuum. #TechSovereigntyEU #DigitalEU Virt8ra.EU #Virt8ra #NextGenerationEU 8ra - Cloud-Edge Continuum #CISERO #SovereignCloud #GenAI Villanova.AI

Happy to confirm that later this month I'll be at the EuroHPC Summit 2025 in Kraków ???? joining a session on "???? ?????????????????? ?????? ?????????? ??????????????????????: ?????????????????? ???????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ???? ??????????????????". I'll be presenting how the sovereign #opensource technologies that we are developing under the €3B IPCEI Cloud (e.g. the Virt8ra.eu software stack for #virtualization) can help to turn #AI Factories into a ???? federated digital infrastructure spanning across the whole continent—easily accessible to European SMEs & start-ups, and able to incorporate into a single environment the commercial offerings of EU cloud service providers ?? https://lnkd.in/dTH7e8En #TechSovereigntyEU #DigitalEU EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) #NextGenerationEU #CISERO 8ra - Cloud-Edge Continuum #Virt8ra

?? Advancing Europe’s Digital Future with Federated and Secure Cloud-Edge Infrastructure The release of the Telco Cloud Reference Architecture (TCRA) is a major step toward building a resilient, AI-ready, and interoperable telecom cloud infrastructure in #Europe. As part of the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud efforts to close technological gaps in #cloud and #edgecomputing, the #TCRA provides a foundational framework for federated, secure, and scalable #telecom cloud architectures. By uniting #industry leaders, #opensource innovators, and #policymakers, steps are taken to shape a resilient cloud-edge continuum that empowers AI, 5G, and next-gen digital services. The TCRA is a key milestone on this journey, setting the stage for a truly federated, seamless, and sovereign European cloud ecosystem. ?? Read full article here:?https://lnkd.in/eSd-MgSf
