Cyprus Joins Advanced AI Infrastructure - 'Pharos' and its Connection to Greece

Cyprus will participate in the European Artificial Intelligence (AI) network through 'Pharos', the Greek AI Factory being created under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking initiative. Cypriot involvement will be implemented via 'Pharos-CY', a connected regional hub that will collaborate closely with the Greek center. 'Pharos' will provide access to computing resources, data, and expertise to researchers, businesses, and the public sector, focusing on areas such as health, civil protection, and energy. The 'Daedalus' supercomputer, being built in Lavrio, will be the core computing infrastructure of 'Pharos'. The project will be funded by the Recovery Fund and European resources. 'Pharos-CY' will focus on developing innovative AI solutions for Cypriot society and the economy, in areas such as health, sustainability, culture, and language, with the participation of research and academic institutions.
