欧盟委员会宣布了一项投资计划，将通过超过30亿欧元（34亿美元）的公私联合融资在欧洲建设七个AI超级工厂[1]。其中10亿欧元来自欧盟及其成员国，另外20亿欧元由私人投资者提供[1]。这一举措旨在强化欧洲在人工智能基础设施领域的战略自主性，减少对美国和中国技术的依赖[1]。
AMD、Nvidia和Qualcomm等主要芯片制造商已承诺为该项目提供芯片[1]。欧盟委员会计划在5至7年内将其数据中心容量增加两倍[1]。目前欧盟运营19个数据中心[1]，新增容量将为开发和部署大规模AI应用提供必要的计算基础设施。项目资金分配将从2027年初开始，施工在同年启动[1]，招标截止日期为11月12日[1]。欧盟委员会副主席Henna Virkkunen将该计划称为"一个里程碑"，强调"获取AI超级工厂内的原始计算能力规模对欧洲来说是战略必要性"[1]。
The European Union has unveiled an ambitious investment scheme to construct seven artificial intelligence gigafactories across Europe, supported by over €30 billion (approximately $34 billion) in combined public and private funding [1]. The European Commission and member states are contributing €10 billion, while private investors are committing an additional €20 billion to the initiative [1]. Chip manufacturers including AMD, Nvidia, and Qualcomm have already pledged to supply components for the projects [1].
The plan reflects the EU's determination to reduce its dependence on American and Chinese technology infrastructure. The bloc currently operates 19 data centers and aims to triple this capacity within five to seven years [1]. Henna Virkkunen, representing the European Commission, characterized the undertaking as "a milestone," emphasizing that "accessing raw computational power at the scale of AI gigafactories is a strategic necessity for Europe" [1]. Applications for the projects will close on November 12, with funding distributions beginning in early 2027 and construction commencing the same year [1].
