What if the next big AI breakthrough came from Europe? The EU got a plan to make this happen 👇 🏭 13 AI Factories will drive innovation, connecting universities, startups, industry, and policymakers. These hubs will bring together top talent, high-quality data, and powerful computing. 🚀 The EU will also set up AI Gigafactories with 100,000 state-of-the-art AI chips – four times more than current AI factories. 📊 Data Labs will curate large, high-quality data. 🎯 The EU is launching the Apply AI Strategy to boost industrial use in EU sectors. 💪 The EU will attract global talent through initiatives like the Talent Pool and AI fellowships.
