Poland, together with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, has officially submitted to the European Commission a joint project to create the Baltic AI GigaFactory, a pan-European infrastructure for artificial intelligence with an estimated value of approx. EUR 3 billion.
The initiative was submitted at the end of August 2025 as part of the EU’s InvestAI programme, which aims to build high-performance computing gigafactories across the Union. The goal: to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty, reduce dependency on non-EU suppliers and support the development of local language models and generative AI applications.
Project in numbers
- Total investment value: €3 billion.
- Funding structure: 65% private capital + 35% EU and national funds.
- Technology infrastructure: Up to 100,000 next-generation GPUs, with the ability to train models based on more than a trillion parameters.
- Location: main interchanges in Poland (Warsaw, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Poznań, Krakow) and connected hubs in Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius.
- Energy: sustainable food that ensures efficiency and compliance with the European Green Deal.
Impact on Europe and Poland
- Regional leadership: Poland is strengthening its position as the nerve center of AI in Central Europe.
- Transnational cooperation: the project strengthens the Polish-Baltic axis, creating a common research and innovation ecosystem.
- Enterprise and start-up opportunities: Access to the global computing resources needed to develop competitive AI applications.
- Alignment with EU priorities: sustainability, digitalisation and linguistic inclusion through local models such as PLLuM and Bielik.
Why this initiative is strategic
Baltic AI GigaFactory is not just a technological infrastructure: it is a symbol of Europe’s desire to assert its technological independence in a sector dominated by American and Chinese giants.
For European investors, policymakers and stakeholders, this project opens up a new season of opportunities: from industrial innovation to university research to AI-based government applications.
