A Member State that intends to support the establishment and operation of an AI gigafactory should be able to allocate part of the financial contribution it receives under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council to cover, in whole or in part, its voluntary financial contribution to such an AI gigafactory. That contribution is to be managed and disbursed by the Joint Undertaking on the basis of an administrative agreement between that Member State and the Joint Undertaking. Where that AI gigafactory is subsequently selected for funding by the Governing Board of the Joint Undertaking, the funding will be complemented by funding from the Union as set out in this amending Regulation. If the AI gigafactory supported by the Member State is not selected, the amount should be allocated under the management of the Joint Undertaking either to that AI gigafactory or to another investment in the field of AI or quantum technologies, without Union contribution, and as identified by the Member State in its Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP).
