Correction, 2026-10-11. The summary gave a EUR 50 million figure that no source supports, and the story cited an earlier ICI page; the source is now ICI's 1 September 2026 announcement, which gives the grant agreement, the start date and the end-2027 target. The item said: “ICI Bucharest and POLITEHNICA Bucharest began implementing RO AI Factory, a EUR 50 million EuroHPC JU funded national AI supercomputer under Grant Agreement No. 101314645, due to become operational by end of 2027.”
