Friends, Europe is positioned at an important cross road in high-performance computing ( #HPC : we cannot leave behind $BTC | $ETH | $POL ) and inspite of taking in close to a third of the world's HPC resources, the continent generates only 5% of that capacity and this difference has long compelled European researchers to rely on costly supercomputing infrastructure outside the EU, primarily in the US. But this is beginning to turn around. Driven by an increasing urge for digital sovereignty, AI leadership, and data safety, Europe is now moving to build its own HPC backbone—one that’s green, powerful, and decentralized.
In a similar fashion , an integral catalyst behind this transformation is Solidus AITECH, a project that combines blockchain, AI, and HPC to strengthen Europe’s technological autonomy. Supported by @DAO Labs ’ Solidus HUB, where we proudly contribute as #SocialMining scholars, #AITECH is developing a groundbreaking 8,800 sq. ft eco-friendly data center in Bucharest and the objective is clear: to supply the computational muscle required by AI-driven innovations without outsourcing to foreign providers. This aligns perfectly with EU policy goals around digital resilience, climate impact, and strategic independence.
As Grand View Research reports, the global HPC market is on a steady rise and from an estimated $36 billion in 2018 to a projected $87.3 billion by 2030. This increase is fueled by AI, big data, and digital twins, which require immense processing capabilities. Decentralized infrastructure is becoming crucial to meet this demand at scale, while also keeping operations safe, compliant, and energy-efficient.
Above all, for builders and Web3 developers, this is a golden moment to plug into an increasing ecosystem that rewards innovation and aligns with global priorities and for investors, the message is simple: Europe’s HPC transformation is happening now—and those leveraging scalable, blockchain-enhanced models like AITECH stand to benefit the most. To truly lead, AITECH must continue expanding its infrastructure, foster developer adoption, and advocate for open, sovereign AI compute.
