The program is a 24-month challenge starting in July 2026, backed by €125M in non-dilutive funding. Up to ten teams will receive support to build frontier-lab capabilities (team, infrastructure, prototypes, evaluation, and pilots). The strongest teams will then receive structured support toward raising approximately €1B each to establish globally competitive European frontier AI labs.
