During her visit to Western Balkans, President von der Leyen announced the new sites in Serbia and North Macedonia today, giving the region's companies access to Europe's artificial intelligence infrastructure.

These Antennas will collaborate closely with AI Factories to provide national AI communities with secure remote access to world-class, AI-optimised supercomputing resources. Fully integrated into the EuroHPC ecosystem, the network aims to expand access to AI talent, infrastructure, and innovation across Europe.

On Friday, the Commission also announced a major expansion of Europe's AI infrastructure, adding six new AI Factories to the existing network, bringing the total to 19 AI Factories across 16 Member States.

This rollout drives forward the AI Continent Action Plan and complements the EU's investment in future AI Gigafactories, large-scale facilities dedicated to developing and training advanced AI models and frontier systems, while aligning with the Apply AI Strategy to accelerate the uptake of artificial intelligence across Europe's economy and public sector.

More information is available in the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking press release online.
