/ENG The
Baltic AI GigaFactory project is one of the most ambitious initiatives in the field of artificial intelligence in Central and Eastern Europe. Poland – together with Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – decided to create a transnational AI processing and development center, which is to act as the technological heart of the region.
The goal of Baltic AI GigaFactory is
to provide computing power and resources to create, train and deploy large language models and AI systems that will be able to support public administration, the science sector, entrepreneurs and startups.
In June 2025, together with interested business and scientific organizations, an
Expression of Interest project was submitted to the European Commission expressing readiness for the implementation of the Baltic AI Gigafactory project. In the coming months, the project will be further concretized from a business and operational point of view.
More on the AI Gigafactories initiative:
https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/overwhelming-response-76-respondents-express-interest-european-ai-gigafactories-initiativeThis form has been created to gather interested partners to participate in the project who want to invest in the project or help build a working AI and technology ecosystem around the initiative.
The organizations and companies we are looking for must be European entities (entities from
European Economic Area). This requirement is proposed in the light of the European Commission proposed amendment to EuroHPC Regulation (
https://www.eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/european-commission-proposes-amendment-eurohpc-regulation-support-gigafactories-and-include-quantum-2025-07-16_en). The entity wishing to be part of the project needs to meet the following 4 conditions:
-
Headquarters and control: The company/organisation must have its formal headquarters in EEA, and the majority of the final vote control must be held by EEA entities or individuals. Minority foreign investment should not be an obstacle, provided that operational control, R+D leadership and strategic management remain unequivocally in EEA.
-
Location of R+D and intellectual property rights: Most R&D activities (calculated by number of employees or expenditure) must take place in EEA and the technology must not be subject to intellectual property rights restrictions or export controls from outside the EEA that could lead to service disruptions. This ensures that the intellectual value chain is anchored in the EEA.
-
Immunity from jurisdiction: The provider and its services must be subject exclusively to EEA law, which guarantees immunity to the extraterritorial effects of foreign legislation.
-
Tax residency: A company/organisation must have its primary tax residence in EEA, which ensures a fair contribution to the societies it serves.
The form below is designed to match your organizations to one of the 7 stakeholder groups that will make up the project. The stakeholder groups are as follows:
-
Technology Providers: Partners offering technology that can be used to build the project (data center services, networking services). Technology partners may additionally assume a financial investment in the project outside the technology investment.
-
Investors offering services: Partners wishing to host/sell services on the emerging Baltic AI Gigafactory infrastructure in the form of e.g. SaaS. The sale can be assumed in the B2B or B2C model. Investment partners assume a financial investment in the project. The investment can take the form of financing in the early phase of the project or a guarantee of purchase of computing power and the use of the emerging infrastructure.
-
Investors with in-house services: Partners who want to host their internal services for their own organization on the emerging infrastructure. Investment partners assume a financial investment in the project. The investment can take the form of financing in the early phase of the project or a guarantee of purchase of computing power and the use of the emerging infrastructure.
-
Financial Investors: Equity funds and capital market participants wishing to include the Baltic AI Gigafactory project in their investment portfolio. Investment partners assume a financial investment in the project.
-
HPC Centers: Public supercomputing centres. As non-investment partners, they do not assume financial investments in the project.
-
Public sector: Scientific and Research Institutions, public and local government units, Universities, Academic Centers involved in the field of artificial intelligence technology and the construction of computing infrastructure. As non-investment partners, they do not assume financial investments in the project.
-
AI ecosystem: Non-profit and for-profit organizations involved in the development of technologies and services based on artificial intelligence, technology foundations, economic associations. As non-investment partners, they do not assume financial investments in the project.
It should be noted that stakeholders from groups
1-4 assume project investments, while partners
5-7 only want to engage in ecosystem-support activities. As part of the Baltic AI Gigafactory launch project, there are no grants or grant programs for partners.
At the current stage of the project, no amount declaration of the partner's investment is required.
Due to the fact that the current work on the Baltic AI Gigafactory is carried out by 4 countries: Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, it is required to read 4 information processing clauses corresponding to 4 units at the government level analyzing documents on the part of the Member States.
The condition for participation in the activities and circulation of documents under the project is the prior signing of a confidentiality trust agreement. This agreement will be signed with the country in which the institution operates (Estonia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia). Entities from outside the 4 mentioned jurisdictions that meet the definitions of a European organization will cooperate with the Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs. The contract will be forwarded to the contact person provided in the form.
