The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has selected six new sites to host additional European AI Factories, set to be deployed next year across Europe: in Lithuania, Czechia, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Spain. LitAI Factory aims to transform Lithuania’s HPC capabilities into a sovereign AI optimised infrastructure that can meet the needs of national and European ambitions. The LitAI Factory will provide a full spectrum of services from HPC for AI workloads and data storage to accelerator access and innovation support, while prioritising key sectors such as cybersecurity, green energy, smart industry, and digital health. By strengthening synergies with the Polish HPC and quantum sites and engaging in broader collaborations with EU initiatives, LitAI Factory aims to position Lithuania as an active contributor to the European AI ecosystem.

🌏 China’s Infrastructure Footprint in the Solomon Islands — What It Really Means - New from Aurion Nexus Beijing’s infrastructure push in the Pacific is more than development—it’s strategy. Our latest intelligence report breaks down how ports, telecoms, police cooperation, and construction projects in the Solomon Islands form part of an expanding dual-use network with political and security implications. 🔍 Key Findings: • Strategic Leverage: Huawei-backed telecom rollout + Honiara port redevelopment = long-term digital and logistical access. • Security Penetration: China’s security pact is operational—riot gear, drones, surveillance systems, and biometric data pilots are already active. • Fengqiao Model Exported: For the first time, China's internal surveillance doctrine is trailed overseas, via civil-police integration and population monitoring. • NEURAL VEIL Insights: Detected procurement anomalies, personnel surges, and backchannel deployments in advance of public reporting. • DRAGON VEIL Scenarios: We modeled future escalations—including PLA vessel access and cyber-infrastructure triggers—flagging regional risk inflection points. 🚨 Bottom Line: Infrastructure is not neutral. It shapes alliances, dependencies, and future coercion vectors. In the Pacific, early warning and deep verification matter—not just intent but technical capacity and placement. 🧠 How Aurion Nexus Delivers: ✔️ NEURAL VEIL: Live multilingual pattern-of-life analytics ✔️ DRAGON VEIL: Strategic foresight, escalation path modeling ✔️ PEMESI Intelligence Framework: Decision-grade assessments built on physical, cyber, and geopolitical realities 🤝 Want the full report or a tailored infrastructure risk brief?

🔐 Advancing Privacy-Preserving Technologies in Europe! I’m excited to share that I’ll be taking part in the Workshop in Rome on October 31st, where we’ll explore some of today’s most fascinating topics in secure data management — Homomorphic Encryption (HE), Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL), and Quantum Computing. During the event, we’ll also present the Horizon TRUSTEE Project (https://lnkd.in/dJGY4Vpr) — an ambitious European initiative working to build trusted, privacy-preserving frameworks for data sharing across domains. We’ll be particularly focusing on the project’s Health and Education pilots, which show how advanced cryptographic technologies can enable real innovation while safeguarding data protection and privacy. I’m really looking forward to this opportunity to exchange ideas and connect with researchers, institutions, and industry experts who are driving Europe’s leadership in privacy-enhancing technologies. 📍 Policlinico Gemelli / UCSC Rome, October 31st, 2025 💡 Building Trust through Secure Data Innovation #HorizonTRUSTEE #PrivacyPreservingTechnologies #HomomorphicEncryption #PPRL #QuantumComputing #DataSecurity #HorizonEurope #HealthTech #EdTech #Innovation #DigitalTrust
