The Greek “factory” of artificial intelligence “Pharos” is now becoming a regional hub Naive (Tn) of the Nun-Eastern Europe, as the proposals for the creation of four AI Factory Antennas were approved in Cyprus; Malta; Northern Macedonia and Serbiawhich will be associated with “Pharos”. This creates an ecosystem of TN in South-Eastern Europe with a focus on Greece and four regional hubs, sharing computational resources, data and tools. Of Europe’s thirteen AI Factory Antennas, the four will be interconnected with the Greek TN Pharos factory.

According to a statement, the Ministry of Digital Governance has contributed to successful submission of proposals under the EuroHPC-Ju, which will provide European funding of up to 50% of the eligible costs of the projects, while the remaining 50% will be covered by participating states. Their launch is expected in early 2026, in coordination with the first phase of the operation of the Pharos services.

Through the collaboration with the four AI Factory Antennas, the TN Pharos plant will gain immediate access to four new TN communities, thereby establishing its position as a transnational hub in southeast Europe and contributing to the continuous development of national ecosystems. AI Factory Antennas in Cyprus, Malta, Northern Macedonia and Serbia will work closely with Pharos, providing access to high -performance computing resources, specially adapted to TN applications, supporting research, innovation and industrial development in various sectors.

Each AI Factory Antenna bears its own theme and geographical expertise, enhancing the cooperation and viability of the overall ecosystem. Through training activities, joint development of models and the exchange of know -how, AI Factory Antennas promotes the adoption of solutions in the public and private sectors.

In particular, the four Antennas of AI Factory “Pharos” are the following:

Cyprus: Pharos-Cyy

Cyprus creates a powerful hub of digital innovation and research excellence through Pharos-Cy, coordinated by the Cyprus Institute. Antenna focuses on three pillars: health, culture and language, sustainability. Its actions include TN biomedical applications for rare diseases, linguistic models for the Cypriot dialect, digital cultural heritage tools, as well as TN systems for climate monitoring and air pollution.

Malta: MDIA ANTENNA

Malta’s Antenna, under the coordination of Malta Digital Innovation Authority, will focus on supporting media and start -ups for adopting TN, with public services and shipping applications – two critical areas for the island country. Through Pharos, local bodies will gain access to computing resources, counseling services and TN development tools, enhancing Malta’s digital durability and competitiveness.

Northern Macedonia: Vezilka Aifa

Antenna “Vezilka” will be hosted at the SS University School of Informatics and Engineering. Cyril and Methodius in Skopje and will work closely with Pharos for actions in the fields of health, sustainability and green energy, contributing to the local ecosystem with education, consulting and access to computing resources.

Serbia – IPB AIFA

The Institute of Physics at the University of Belgrade (IPB) leads the Antenna of Serbia, focusing on health, viability and language and culture. It will provide training, support and access to computing resources by acting as a hub of interconnection of the local academic and business community with the European ecosystem TN.
