EU voids all AI gigafactory bids for technical reasons and asks applicants to resubmit
Nov 10, 2026
EuroHPC JU says no draft or submitted AI gigafactory tender in its system will be considered; medium bids are due 6 December 2026 and large bids by early February 2027.
EuroHPC has told applicants to resubmit funding tenders for the European Union's AI gigafactory program because of an unspecified technical issue, according to Data Center Dynamics. "For technical reasons all submissions currently in the system, draft and submitted tenders, will not be considered," EuroHPC JU said. The nature of the problem has not been disclosed.
The deadline for lot one, covering medium AI gigafactories, is December 6, 2026. The deadline for lot two, covering large facilities, has been extended to the beginning of February 2027.
The program covers four medium facilities and three large facilities. Each of the four smaller projects can receive up to €100 million in the first phase and another €400 million if they expand capacity by at least three times. Each large project can receive up to €200 million in the first phase and another €800 million in the second phase. Consortia preparing bids include Volt in the Netherlands, Aether Infrastructure in France and AI&, a French consortium led by Iliad.
