Canada is integrating into the European Union's supercomputing network, providing its companies, startups, and researchers access to advanced European computing resources for AI development. This collaboration seeks to enhance AI cooperation and diminish reliance on US technology. The EU's supercomputing network, managed by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, boasts an 8.2 billion-euro budget. It encompasses 14 supercomputers, 19 AI factories, and 10 quantum computers. Furthermore, seven AI gigafactories, large data center hubs with a 30 billion-euro investment, will be established next year. Experts acknowledge the potential benefits of this EU-Canadian collaboration but caution that it is merely an initial step. They emphasize that while "compute cooperation" is a clear path for "middle power" AI collaboration, it currently does not significantly reduce dependence on the U.S. Substantial buildouts comparable to U.S. gigawatt-scale clusters are necessary to truly impact this dependence. Canada's involvement expands on its previous participation in Horizon Europe, the EU's flagship R&D program, which partially funds EuroHPC. In total, 38 countries, including EU member states and others like Norway, Switzerland, and the UK, have joined the EU's supercomputing network.
