July 22, 2026 — The EuroHPC JU has signed a procurement contract with E4 Computer Engineering, the selected contractor, for the acquisition, delivery, installation and maintenance of MeluXina-AI, a new AI-optimized supercomputer for the EuroHPC AIF in Luxembourg.
As part of the Luxembourg AI Factory initiative, MeluXina-AI will be hosted and operated by LuxProvide. The new supercomputer will strengthen Europe’s capacity in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science, supporting research, innovation, and industrial development across strategic sectors.
MeluXina-AI will deliver the computing power required for the training, testing, and pre-production deployment of advanced AI models. The system will be supported by a rich, scalable software ecosystem designed to meet the needs of AI users, from startups and companies of all sizes to researchers and industry.
Integrated by E4 Computer Engineering, The MeluXina-AI supercomputer will be built on Dell Technologies servers with liquid-cooled NVIDIA GB200 NVL4 systems based on the Blackwell architecture across 252 nodes for a total of 1,008 GPUs and a multi-protocol file system for both AI and HPC tiers. The supercomputer will be deployed on a dual-site infrastructure, Bissen and Bettembourg, delivering an estimated AI peak performance of over 20 Exaflops.
The software stack engineered to meet the MeluXina-AI requirements will enable GPU-as-a-Service delivery to multiple tenants with container-native isolation and dynamic workload scheduling. The Smart Governance of the platform will be provided with a rich and diversified ecosystem, including the Urania platform developed by E4.
The infrastructure will support secure multi-tenant operations through advanced cloud-native and isolated environments, helping protect sensitive data and intellectual property. Through integrated compute and data bridges, the platform will also enable connectivity with external data platforms, cloud providers, and other EuroHPC AI Factories, contributing to a seamless end-to-end computing environment for AI workloads across Europe.
In addition to this, sovereign cloud capabilities will support the deployment of AI applications within secure and sovereign environments, ensuring control, security, and compliance.
Since April 2025, the Luxembourg AI Factory has been a central hub for AI innovation and adoption, providing services to European startups, SMEs and other users by leveraging the existing MeluXina supercomputer. Its activities focus on several strategic sectors, including finance, space, cybersecurity and the green economy.
With the signature of this contract, the initiative enters its next phase. MeluXina-AI will underpin the development of trustworthy and high-performance AI solutions and create new opportunities for innovation in Luxembourg and across Europe.
The system will be installed across sites in Bissen and Bettembourg, Luxembourg.
Installation activities are expected to start in fall of 2026.
More Details
E4 Computer Engineering was selected following a call for tender launched in February 2026. Dell Technologies will participate in the implementation of the contract as subcontractor.
Luxembourg has been selected as a hosting site for an AI Factory in December 2024.
Primarily designed to serve startups and SMEs, in their research and innovation activities, MeluXina-AI will also be accessible to the wider research community.
The new AI-optimized supercomputer will be co-funded with a total budget of EUR 80 000 000 for the acquisition, delivery, installation, and maintenance of the system. The EuroHPC JU will fund 50% of the total cost through the Digital Europe Programme (DEP).
The Luxembourg AI Factory is coordinated by LuxProvide and implemented in collaboration with five consortium members, including Luxinnovation, the Luxembourg National Data Service, the University of Luxembourg, and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology.
The Luxembourg AI Factory is part of a broader network of AI Factories across Europe as the EuroHPC JU is currently overseeing the implementation of 19 AI factories offering free, customized support to SMEs and startups, complemented by an additional 13 AI Factory Antennas.
