policyai-centregovernanceEU-fundinginfrastructure

A Lithuanian national consortium secured €65 million in EU co-funding, matched to a total of €130 million, to establish LitAI — the largest AI facility in the Baltic States. The centre provides over 80 services including high-performance computing, data storage, and accelerator access, with priority areas of cybersecurity, green energy, smart industry, and digital health.

Who it affects: Researchers, AI developers, public-sector technology units, and companies in Lithuania seeking high-performance computing and AI development infrastructure.

What is notably missing: LitAI is a research and infrastructure centre for specialists rather than a general AI literacy provider. No binding curriculum mandate, workforce training obligation, or AI governance enforcement power is established by this initiative.
