The EU Strategy on AI: Ensuring Autonomy and Prosperity

The European Union is advancing major investments in AI and compute infrastructure to strengthen technological sovereignty and competitiveness.

This session examines key instruments such as EuroHPC, AI Factories, and proposed AI Gigafactories, as well as emerging sovereign cloud and funding models. It will discuss how these initiatives can translate into innovation capacity, productivity gains, and strategic autonomy—and how to ensure that large-scale infrastructure delivers sustainable economic impact.
