The selection of AI gigafactories should be based on a joint procurement between the Joint Undertaking and one or more contracting authorities from the countries that are members of the Joint Undertaking (Participating States). The Joint Undertaking and the Participating States should conclude a joint procurement agreement encompassing all the core elements of the subsequent call for expression of interest, including the commitments by Participating States that are Member States to finance their share of any AI gigafactory selected for funding within their respective territory, following the outcome of the selection process conducted by the Joint Undertaking. Member States’ commitments should be submitted to the Joint Undertaking prior to the launch of the call for expression of interest.
