Resolution criterion
Yes if the EuroHPC JU or the European Commission publishes a release naming at least one consortium or site selected under the AI Gigafactories call.
Verified starting state
The formal call was published on 30 July 2026. The informal call of June 2025 drew 77 proposals covering 60 sites across 16 member states. Construction of the first gigafactory is expected to begin in 2027, but EuroHPC calls have already slipped once.
What pushes it up
- Official EU release confirms the call is active and the Commission intends to fund up to seven gigafactories, suggesting a selection will occur (tier 1)
What pushes it down
- EuroHPC calls have slipped once before, indicating possible delays
- No consortium or site has been announced yet despite the call being open since July 2026, and all other articles are tier 4, which are weak signals
What would move this number most
When the EuroHPC JU will issue the formal selection decision; a forthcoming decision notice would shift the estimate sharply.
