JUPITER AI Factory Brings Exascale Power to Business and Science

With the JUPITER AI Factory, a central pillar of Europe’s AI infrastructure is being established in Jülich. Start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, and industrial companies will have access to Europe’s first Exascale-class supercomputer JUPITER. The AI Factory is also open to research institutions and the public sector. Thanks to the computing power of JUPITER, which will go into operation at Forschungszentrum Jülich in the coming months, AI applications can be developed, tested, improved and scaled faster than ever before.

Laser Sources of the Future: the Key to Technological Sovereignty

From manufacturing to medicine, from quantum technology to nuclear fusion — lasers are the basis for many critical applications. However, without rare-earth elements and crystals from third countries, it is becoming increasingly difficult to produce them. Not only are export restrictions, war and restrictive customs policies putting pressure on industry, but they are also threatening Germany's technological sovereignty. Fraunhofer is researching alternatives in crystal growing and processing as well as glass fiber development. They will be on display at the LASER trade show in Munich from June 24–27.
