Supply Chain
Not yet available
Power capacity, hardware inventory, upstream suppliers, and downstream customers for the row owned by EuroHPC JU; any BIS Entity List exposure is walked through the canonical org graph rather than asserted at the facility row.
Capacity, ownership chain, and supply-chain position for IT4LIA AI Factory, including any export-control exposure that surfaces when the BIS Entity List touches a node above the facility in the chain.
As of 2026-07-10
Operator (or owner of record) per the Scrutica facility row.
Ownership chain not yet documented in the available data (licensed corporate-ownership database, licensed supply-chain database, SEC filings, LEI registry; as of 2026-07-10). The chain may extend further once additional ingestion runs complete; absence here reflects coverage at this snapshot, not a documented apex.
Description
EuroHPC JU procurement contract signed 22 April 2026 (EUR 290,000,000 for acquisition/delivery/installation/maintenance) for a liquid-cooled NVIDIA GB200 NVL4 system (Grace CPU + Blackwell GPU + Quantum-X800 InfiniBand), plus a dedicated inference partition with Axelera AI (European) accelerators and SiPearl (European) CPUs. Primary source states the system "is expected to deliver more than 160 Exaflops of peak AI inference performance" — verbatim, AI-inference precision; NOT a training-FLOPS claim. Hosted and operated by CINECA at the DAMA Tecnopolo of Bologna. Co-funded 50% by EuroHPC JU (via the Digital Europe Programme) and 50% by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR). Part of the EU's AI Factories initiative — distinct from CINECA's pre-existing general-purpose EuroHPC systems at the same Tecnopolo campus (Leonardo, Marconi-100).

Notes
DATA QUALITY FLAG: do NOT use the EUR 420M figure that circulates in tier-3 blog coverage — that covers a broader program scope, not this specific EuroHPC JU procurement contract. EUR 290,000,000 is the EuroHPC-JU-confirmed contract value, re-verified verbatim by direct WebFetch of the primary source in this session. No GPU count, MW, or operational date disclosed by the primary source — left null rather than estimated (DQP §5). Geocode: primary source names "DAMA Tecnopolo of Bologna" but gives no street address; lat/lng left null per no-false-precision (contrast fac-eurohpc-leonardo, which carries a geocoded lat/lng from a different, address-bearing source). DEDUP NOTE: this is a NEW, DISTINCT facility from the pre-existing fac-eurohpc-leonardo (EuroHPC's general-purpose HPC system, A100-based, hpc_center) and fac-epoch-gc-cineca-marconi-100 (CINECA's older HPC system) — all three are separate CINECA-operated systems co-located at the Bologna Tecnopolo campus; IT4LIA is EuroHPC's newer, AI-Factories-branded, GB200-based system.

No jurisdictions documented for this chain in the available data — at least one ancestor must carry an HQ country in the canonical organization record for jurisdictional exposure to compute. This section will populate automatically as additional ingestion adds HQ countries to the chain.
No flags found across the chain (BIS Entity List, designation-cascade closures, or compute-threshold reporting obligations) as of 2026-07-10. Cascade closures evaluated: 0.
No ownership-change events documented in the available data for any entity in this chain over the last 5 years. Events draw from a licensed corporate-ownership database’s deal records (M&A, buyout, divestiture, asset sale, JV formation); coverage is strongest for private US/EU transactions and partial for state-owned-enterprise restructurings or non-Western private deals. Subsequent ingestion runs may add events here.
No documented sovereign or state-linked LP investment touches any entity in this chain. The licensed fund/LP database’s LP-disclosure rate is partial; absence of evidence here is not evidence of absence.
The walk for IT4LIA AI Factorystarts at the operator org id (or owner org id when no operator is recorded) and climbs upward through the unified affiliate graph, normalized to trace child-to-parent relationships. At each hop, the highest-authority parent edge wins (priority ordering: SEC EDGAR / 10-K / LEI registry > licensed corporate-ownership database > licensed supply-chain database > BIS / Federal Register > licensed affiliate graph). Confidence and recency break ties.
The walk terminates on (a) a node with a public-filing-grade ancestor edge — a SEC filer, an LEI-registered listed entity, or a 10-K-disclosed parent — (b) a government entity, (c) a 10-hop limit, or (d) a detected cycle. When termination is not at a public filer or government, the panel labels the chain's end-state as opaque beyond that point. Opacity is reported, never implied.
Per-source confidence (licensed corporate-ownership database): HIGH for Parent / Subsidiary edges; MEDIUM for JV and AFFILIATE edges. Known limitations: (1) shell companies with undisclosed principals terminate the public-record walk; (2) recent transactions reach the panel after the database's weekly refresh; (3) cross-jurisdiction private holding structures may carry intermediate hops that are not in any ingested source. Each row carries an edge-level as of date so freshness is auditable per hop.
Two further caveats are inherent to how the walker and the underlying data compose. The walker selects a single highest-authority parent per hop, so JV or multi-parent ownership structures collapse to one displayed path; alternate parents exist in the ingested sources but are not surfaced on this card. And some licensed-database edges encode parent-of relations against entity-resolved stub IDs whose display name reflects a sub-entity (a business unit, an acquired-then-renamed line) rather than the canonical parent — when a chain reads structurally surprising, the per-row source citation is the authoritative reference, not the chain's narrative shape.
Computed at: 2026-07-10. Walk depth observed: 1 hop. Sources combined: Scrutica facility record + licensed corporate-ownership database + SEC CIK cross-reference + LEI registry + (where applicable) licensed supply-chain database + Federal Register designation closures. The licensed databases are held under subscription and not redistributed; per-hop labels name no vendor.
