HPE hosts exclusive private lunch & roundtable at Forum Global's International Artificial Intelligence Summit
26 important stakeholders in the EU’s AI ecosystem gathered from government ministries, the European Commission, and a range of tech companies including Nokia, Nvidia, Multiverse Computing and GCore, among others. They met for a multifaceted discussion on the gigafactories, looking at various aspects ranging from the technology itself and the access to compute, through to the financing models and questions around energy capacity.
This private lunch and roundtable, hosted by HPE and Forum Global, took place in the context of the EU’s upcoming AI Gigafactories and explored how governments can take an industrial and market-driven approach to addressing the surging demand for increased AI capabilities across all sectors, scaling sovereign compute, accelerating AI uptake, and ensuring long-term competitiveness and resilience in the AI era.
