Romania — Black Sea AI Gigafactory

The Black Sea AI Gigafactory is a €5 billion flagship project designed to establish Romania as a high-performance computing leader in Eastern Europe. The hub is planned to be located near the Cernavodă nuclear power plant and the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) facility in Doicești, utilizing a unique 1.5 GW mix of nuclear and renewable energy. The project involves deploying 100,000 AI accelerators to serve the Black Sea region and neighboring countries. It is part of the broader EU “AI Factories” initiative, aiming to provide startups and researchers with sovereign, large-scale AI compute capacity.
