On July 7, 2025, Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, visited the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) as part of her tour of European “AI factories” established by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. The visit spotlighted HammerHAI, Germany’s first AI factory—launched in December 2024 and coordinated by HLRS along with partners such as the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, KIT, GWDG Göttingen, and SICOS BW—to bolster AI adoption in German academia and industry. Virkkunen emphasized AI factories’ vital role in advancing Europe’s AI competitiveness and digital sovereignty.
Similar to BayernKI, HammerHAI offers consulting, support, and access to AI computing infrastructure. Being a core partner in both initiatives, LRZ will leverage synergies to cater to AI research in Bavaria and across Germany.
