Austria, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Poland and Slovenia will host the new AI factories, supported by a combined national and European investment of €485 million. These facilities will provide privileged access to AI start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), fostering their growth.

Bulgaria's AI factory, "BRAIN++", will be located in the Sofia Tech Park and will consist of two components: "Discoverer++" - a next-generation supercomputer designed for advanced AI workloads and The Bulgarian AI Factory - a comprehensive AI hub providing a one-stop service for government, educational and private sector institutions.

"BRAIN++ aims to position Bulgaria as a regional leader in innovation and will be integrated with other AI factories across Europe.
