Capacity Media reveals details of the European Commission’s blueprint to triple the EU’s AI infrastructure by 2030. The plan focuses on expanding high-performance computing (HPC), cross-border data centers, and secure digital networks to support a sovereign AI ecosystem across Europe. It forms part of the broader digital sovereignty strategy, aiming to reduce reliance on non-EU cloud and data services.

The initiative includes targeted funding for member states, collaboration with private sector actors, and public procurement strategies to accelerate the deployment of AI-enabling infrastructure. A particular emphasis is placed on sustainability and energy efficiency in building new data systems.

This expansion is intended to bolster the EU’s competitiveness, support innovation in both the public and private sectors, and ensure compliance with European data protection and AI ethics frameworks.
