Strategy for Post Exascale Initiative Unites 23 Organizations Around European Computing Roadmap
June 15, 2026 — Europe is preparing for the next frontier of computing with the launch of the Strategy for Post Exascale (SPE) project. Coordinated by Inria, SPE brings together 23 leading organizations to build a dynamic European vision for the convergence of HighPerformance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Computing Systems (QCS) from 2026 […] The post Strategy for Post Exascale Initiative Unites 23 Organizations Around European Computing Roadmap appeared first on HPCwire .
Europe is proactively forming a converged strategy for next-generation computing as global competition intensifies and current exascale projects mature.
This initiative signals Europe's ambition to establish technological independence and leadership in critical computing domains (HPC, AI, Quantum) post-exascale, reducing reliance on external powers.
A formal, collaborative framework is now in place for a unified European strategy across HPC, AI, and Quantum, potentially accelerating domestic innovation and reducing fragmentation.
