Verified [EuroHPC Joint Undertaking press release, 20 January 2026](https://www.eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/eurohpc-jus-mandate-expanded-under-new-regulation-amendment-2026-01-20%5Fen?ref=sovereigntymonitor.eu)

**What it does not test.** This does not establish that any gigafactory or quantum facility has been funded yet, since the amendment only extends the Joint Undertaking's legal scope to do so.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. EuroHPC mandate widened for gigafactories/quantum; legal scope only, nothing funded yet. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
