NexusForum2026 Summit
3 December @ Barcelona (Spain)
Software & Hardware Technologies for
Europe’s Sovereign AI Infrastructures
NexusForum2026—the fourth edition of the NexusForum Summit series—will create a unique space for exploring together the high-impact technological cooperation between the software and hardware vendors involved in the future deployment of Europe’s sovereign AI infrastructures.
The launch of the AI Gigafactory tender by the European Commission has triggered a series of exciting new collaborations between technology providers across the European Union, many of them already involved in strategic projects under the European Defense Fund (EDF) program or the EuroHPC AI Factory initiative.
NexusForum Summits are unique physical events aimed at exploring technological synergies between the main industrial players in the EU tech ecosystem, including the corporate members of the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud, those Member States and EU companies participating in the IPCEIs on Cloud & AI, and several industrial partners from key Horizon Europe research and innovation actions.
Launched by the European Commission in 2021 under the direct sponsorship of Commissioner Thierry Breton, the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud fosters collaboration between EU industry and Member States and helps to define common technology priorities and roadmaps for Europe’s next-generation cloud.
Around 100 of the most innovative companies from 12 EU Member States have joined forces around a new €3B Important Project of Common European Interest on Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure & Services to create a common cloud and edge infrastructure for Europe and carry out its first industrial deployment in a number of strategic sectors.
With a total budget of €95.5 billion, Horizon Europe is the ambitious EU research & innovation framework programme for 2021-2027. Several topics have been targeting Cloud and Edge Computing since 2021, providing funding for a number of on-going projects developing new data and computing technologies.
