InvestAI Initiative

InvestAI is a European Commission initiative launched in February 2025 to mobilise approximately €200 billion in public and private capital to accelerate AI development across the EU. Its core elements include a €20 billion fund to build several large AI “gigafactories” equipped with high-performance compute infrastructure, giving startups, SMEs, and research institutions access to resources normally limited to major tech players. The program aims to strengthen Europe’s AI competitiveness, reduce reliance on non-EU providers, and support innovation across sectors such as healthcare, climate, mobility, and manufacturing, while coordinating investment through EU institutions and the European Investment Bank.
