Power capacity, hardware inventory, upstream suppliers, and downstream customers for the row owned by ; 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 PIAST-AI Factory, including any export-control exposure that surfaces when the BIS Entity List touches a node above the facility in the chain.

Description
Poland's first EuroHPC AI Factory, led by the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC/PCSS) in consortium with Poznań University of Technology, Adam Mickiewicz University, and Nicolaus Copernicus University, plus regional clusters (Wielkopolska ICT Cluster). Selected by the EuroHPC JU 2025-03-12 (second AI-Factories round); hosting agreement confirming the PCSS location signed at the beginning of June 2025. Project budget EUR 100 million, financed 50% from EU funds and 50% from the Polish state budget (operator-stated). Interim AI capacity is already live: 450 GPUs currently operating in the PCSS Data Center, with the full PIAST-AI infrastructure to comprise a farm of over 1,500 GPUs. Comprehensive services based on the PIAST-AI system are set to launch in Q3 2026; full infrastructure operability is planned for 2027. Integrates with the PIAST-Q quantum infrastructure and supports FAIMA, Moldova's AI Factory Antenna. Supported by the Ministry of Digitalization, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and the Ministry of Finance (coordinator).

Notes
STAGED — NOT YET INGESTED (Task #40 staging pass, 2026-07-18; resolves the PIAST-AI open funding flag from the 2026-07-17 scope doc). FUNDING RESOLUTION (was the scope doc's open item): the EuroHPC JU press archive does NOT publish a PIAST-specific budget (checked directly 2026-07-18: JU 2025-03-12 selection release carries only a six-factory aggregate 'around €350 million' via PSNC's recap; JU Poland AI-Factory page has no figure; PSNC launch page has no figure) — but the factory's OWN project site piast-ai.eu states it verbatim (Polish): 'Budżet projektu wynosi 100 mln EUR (finansowanie w 50% ze środków UE i 50% z budżetu państwa)' [The project budget is EUR 100 million (financed 50% from EU funds and 50% from the state budget)] — tier 1, operator disclosure, fetched 2026-07-18. The earlier tier-3 '€50M EC + 340M PLN' variant is superseded by this operator-primary figure and recorded here as a resolved contradiction (340M PLN ≈ €79M ≠ €50M; the tier-3 arithmetic never reconciled). PER-FIELD SOURCE ATTRIBUTION: budget, total_gpu_count 450 ('Już dziś na potrzeby sztucznej inteligencji w Data Center PCSS pracuje 450 kart graficznych' [Already today 450 graphics cards are working for AI in the PCSS Data Center]), the >1,500-GPU target ('farmą ponad 1500 kart GPU'), 2027 full operability ('Pełna operacyjność infrastruktury planowana jest na 2027 rok'), and FAIMA support are on https://piast-ai.eu/ at source_url (page undated; describes current state as accessed — hence data_vintage 2026-07-18). Hosting-agreement timing ('At the beginning of June 2025, a Hosting Agreement which confirms the location of the AI Factory at PCSS was signed'), Q3-2026 services ('Comprehensive services based on the PIAST-AI system are set to be launched in the third quarter of 2026'), ministries, and an older 'over 1000 graphics cards' target phrasing (vintage 2025-06-23, consistent with but coarser than the current >1,500 figure) are from PSNC's launch page https://www.psnc.pl/the-launch-of-the-first-polish-ai-factory-piast-ai/ (tier 1, operator, fetched 2026-07-18). announced_date 2025-03-12 + consortium from the EuroHPC JU selection release https://www.eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/eurohpc-ju-selects-additional-ai-factories-strengthen-europes-ai-leadership-2025-03-12_en (tier 1, fetched 2026-07-18). status 'under_construction': interim 450-GPU partition is live while the full >1,500-GPU infrastructure is in buildout to 2027 — 'announced' would understate the live capacity, 'operational' would overstate completion. total_gpu_count 450 = CURRENT operating count (operator-stated), not the target; GPU models undisclosed (gpu_inventory empty). power_capacity_mw not disclosed anywhere (the '150MW AI-Ready Campus' figure in tier-3 trade coverage is a separate commercial colocation line-item per the 07-17 scope doc — do not attach it here). owner_org_id null: no primary source states an ownership structure for the system (no JU procurement contract found as of 2026-07-18). Operator FK: org-psnc-poland (eurohpc-canonical-supplement row, government/PL) — NOTE a duplicate stub org-psnc ('PSNC', sovereign-research partner namespace) also exists; flagged for canonical-map dedup, not used here. DEDUP: distinct from fac-cyfronet-helios-krakow (Cyfronet AGH, Kraków) and from Poland's SECOND AI Factory 'Gaia AI Factory' (Cyfronet AGH, selected 2025-10-10, not yet staged — future gap pass per scope doc). Distinct from PIAST-Q (quantum system, inaugurated separately). [sovereign-staged-2026-07-18]
Other Facilities in PL
Chain terminates at a government entity (Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center); sovereign authority is the documented terminus.
No flags found across the chain (BIS Entity List, designation-cascade closures, or compute-threshold reporting obligations) as of 2026-07-18. 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 PIAST-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: 2026-07-18. 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.
