The AI Gigafactories Call is the largest single AI funding instrument in Europe and one of the least like a grant.
EuroHPC JU is not funding research projects; it is co-investing in the construction of up to seven physical facilities that combine massive computing power with state-of-the-art AI processors, the necessary software and cloud technology stacks, high-bandwidth connectivity and energy-efficient data centres, to provide frontier AI training, fine-tuning and inference as sovereign European services.
The applicant profile follows from that: applications are open to consortia or Special Purpose Vehicles bringing together companies, public entities, investors and other partners, and a facility may sit within a single Member State or be distributed across several. This is a call for infrastructure developers and capital syndicates, not for research groups.
The financial structure is co-funding rather than full funding - successful projects receive differing levels of EU and national support reflecting the size and range of sovereign services they commit to provide, against an EU and national envelope of up to 10,000,000,000 euros that is expected to mobilise at least 20,000,000,000 euros of private investment.
The timeline is long and worth planning around: the submission deadline is 12 November 2026, competitive evaluation follows, selections are expected in early 2027, and operations are to commence within 18 months of selection.
Note that the AI Gigafactories are a tier above the existing AI Factories - EuroHPC currently oversees 19 AI Factories and 13 AI Factory Antennas that provide free access to SMEs and startups - so organisations wanting to use European AI compute rather than build it should look to the AI Factories access calls instead. Submission is through the EU Tenders and Funding Portal.

Facilities may operate within a single Member State or across multiple Member States through distributed infrastructure. Proposals must cover the development of AI Gigafactories combining massive computing power with state-of-the-art AI processors, software and cloud technology stacks, high-bandwidth connectivity and energy-efficient data centres, and must commit to delivering sovereign services spanning frontier AI training, fine-tuning and inference. Successful projects receive differing levels of EU and national co-funding reflecting the size and range of sovereign services offered, so applicants must be able to bring substantial private capital; public funding covers part of the cost, not all of it. Up to seven AI Gigafactories will be selected. The submission deadline is 12 November 2026, via the EU Tenders and Funding Portal. Proposals undergo competitive evaluation after the deadline, with selections expected in early 2027 and operations commencing within 18 months of selection. Detailed eligibility conditions, required consortium composition, energy and siting requirements, state aid treatment and the full co-funding methodology are set out in the call documentation on the Funding and Tenders Portal and must be reviewed there; organisations seeking to use rather than build European AI compute should instead consult the separate EuroHPC AI Factories access calls. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows euroHPC JU publishes no single total budget figure and no per-project award in the launch announcement. What is stated is that successful AIGF projects will receive different levels of EU and national co-funding reflecting the size and range of sovereign services offered, that the initiative is supported by up to 10,000,000,000 euros in EU and national funding, and that it is expected to unlock at least 20,000,000,000 euros - reported elsewhere as more than 30,000,000,000 euros - in total private investment across the Union. Up to seven AI Gigafactories are to be selected. amount_min of 100,000,000 and amount_max of 1,400,000,000 US dollars are INFERRED figures derived by distributing the stated 10,000,000,000 euro public envelope across up to seven facilities at 1.10 dollars to the euro, with a wide floor to reflect the explicit statement that co-funding levels will differ by project scale. These are not EuroHPC figures. This is infrastructure co-investment, not a research grant: applicants are expected to bring private capital, and public co-funding covers only part of a facility's cost. Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.
