How the figures were made
Funding committed. 100% of government-only announced funding committed; no disbursement recorded. The stage is assigned from reported hardware status, disbursements and commitments.
OECD reports €3.38B allocated to specific projects by June 2024. At the computing centres, Jülich operates JUPITER; LRZ’s Blue Lion is planned to enter service in 2027. HammerHAI has offered services on existing systems since April 2025 and signed a contract for its new HPE supercomputer in March 2026.
Caveats, 6
- OECD reports €3.38B allocated to specific projects across the national AI strategy by June 2024. It gives no payments to recipients.
- Blue Lion’s €250M budget includes acquisition and operation through 2032. HammerHAI’s approximately €85M project budget covers an AI Factory led by HLRS.
- EuroHPC’s March 2026 HammerHAI contract announcement scheduled delivery for the second quarter and operation for the second half of 2026. HammerHAI had already opened its services on existing partner systems in April 2025.
- Gaia-X develops rules and specifications for interoperable data exchange. JUPITER’s hardware also appears in the EuroHPC regional record, so country and regional hardware totals require deduplication.
- In November 2025, the federal government planned approximately €5.5B from the Infrastructure and Climate Neutrality Special Fund for the broader Hightech Agenda during the legislative term; spending remains subject to parliamentary budget provision.
- The dollar figures convert the €3.38B allocation at US$1.0711 per euro on 28 June 2024, the last rate published in the month the allocation is dated to, from the Federal Reserve’s H.10 series distributed by FRED. They restate an allocation, not a payment.

Government spending
Paid against the budget, as the government reports it
~€1.97 billion spent by March 2024, 74 months after the strategy's 2018–2025 period began, of the AI Strategy’s €3.5 billion of additional federal funds for 2018–2025. The Federal Government's answer to the Bundestag of 18 March 2024 states that about EUR 1.97 billion of the EUR 3.5 billion in additional federal funds for the 2018–2025 AI Strategy had flowed out, with over EUR 1.04 billion committed; no later government statement of the cumulative outflow was found.
Additional federal funds for implementing the Federal Government's AI Strategy: three EUR 500 million tranches in the 2019, 2020 and 2021 federal budgets plus EUR 2 billion under item 43 of the June 2020 economic stimulus and future package
A part of the programme. The additional funds pay for the federal AI Strategy across ministries, including BMBF's exascale supercomputer procurement for the Gauss Centre and part of BMWK's Gaia-X work (lines 2 to 4 itemise those parts, which are already inside this line's totals). The programme record's other elements lie partly outside it: the regular joint federal and Länder funding of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing, BMFTR's full EUR 125 million JUPITER share, Gaia-X money from other budget items, and federal AI spending not financed from the strategy's additional funds.
Voted by parliament: the AI Strategy’s €3.5 billion of additional federal funds for 2018–2025, January 2018 to December 2025. Printed as “3,5 Mrd. Euro”. About $3.8B at the reference rate of 18 Mar 2024. … (KI-Strategie) in den Jahren 2018 bis 2025 wurden bisher insgesamt 3,5 Mrd.

Announced: €5 billion, 2 Dec 2020. Printed as “fünf Milliarden Euro”. The December 2020 update of the strategy raised planned federal AI funding to 2025 from three to five billion euros (the June 2020 package added EUR 2 billion to the EUR 3 billion planned in 2018). The government's later answers count EUR 3.5 billion of additional funds actually made available; the gap is the part of the original EUR 3 billion that was not budgeted as tranches after 2021. die Bundesregierung hat die Strategie Künstliche Intelligenz weiterentwickelt und an aktuelle Herausforderungen angepasst. Dafür wurden die finanziellen Mittel bis 2025 von drei auf fünf Milliarden Euro angehoben. (the Federal Government has developed the Artificial Intelligence Strategy further and adapted it to current challenges. For this, the financial resources to 2025 were raised from three to five billion euros.)

Spent: €2.8 billion, 31 Dec 2024. Printed as “2,8 Milliarden Euro”. Tier 3 context only: WirtschaftsWoche attributes to the research ministry an outflow of EUR 2.8 billion from the strategy's start in 2018 to the end of 2024, against "five billion" made available. No government document stating this figure was found; it is not used as paid. Fünf Milliarden Euro wurden dafür zur Verfügung gestellt – doch seit dem Start der Strategie 2018 (noch unter der großen Koalition) sind bis Ende 2024 lediglich 2,8 Milliarden Euro abgeflossen, also gerade einmal knapp mehr als die Hälfte, teilt das Forschungsministerium mit. (Five billion euros were made available for this – but since the strategy started in 2018 (still under the grand coalition) only 2.8 billion euros had flowed out by the end of 2024, barely more than half, the research ministry says.)

Bundestag printed papers (Drucksachen) on dserver.bundestag.de, located by web search because the DIP search is script-driven: Answers 20/10712 (19 Mar 2024), 20/9267 (13 Nov 2023), 20/6862 with Anlage 3 (17 May 2023), 20/10348 (16 Feb 2024), 20/12749 (30 Aug 2024), 19/24243 (12 Nov 2020), 19/26837 (19 Feb 2021), 20/3020 (5 Aug 2022), and in the 21st term 21/1179 (11 Aug 2025), 21/1263 (18 Aug 2025), 21/2287 (16 Oct 2025), 21/2837 (17 Nov 2025), 21/2892 (21 Nov 2025), 21/3249 (11 Dec 2025), 21/3357 (18 Dec 2025), 21/8101 (22 Sep 2026); question 20/10535. Cumulative outflow of the AI Strategy's EUR 3.5 billion additional funds in 20/6862 (EUR 1.28 billion), 20/9267 (EUR 1.57 billion, October 2023) and 20/10712 (about EUR 1.97 billion, March 2024), with commitments; per-measure, per-year outflows 2019–2022 in 20/6862 Anlage 3. No 21st-term answer read states a cumulative outflow for the strategy. 20/10348 gives all-ministry AI spending of EUR 1.54 billion for budget years 2022–2023, a broader quantity than the strategy's additional funds.

Bundesrechnungshof (federal audit office) reports: Prüfungsmitteilung "Ausgewählte Maßnahmen zur Förderung der Künstlichen Intelligenz – Teil 1" (28 May 2024, BMUV KI-Leuchttürme); Bericht nach § 88 Abs. 2 BHO "Verfahren der Datenanalyse und der künstlichen Intelligenz in der Bundesverwaltung" (21 Mar 2023). Neither report states the AI Strategy's total outflow; the 2024 report gives BMUV's planned EUR 70 million for the KI-Leuchttürme initiative. The site's report search URL tried returned "Seite nicht gefunden"; no "Teil 2" was found by web search. Bundesrechnungshof (federal audit office) reports, 2 Nov 2026
Federal budget portal bundeshaushalt.de (Soll and Ist per Titel): Download portal and Einzelplan 30 PDFs for 2024, 2025 and 2026 (static/daten/<year>/soll/epl30.pdf). Not readable: the portal answered with a "Security Check" bot challenge and the static PDFs with HTTP 503, also with a generic browser User-Agent; the challenge was not bypassed. Ist figures for budget items 3004/894 23 and 3004/894 21 after 2022 therefore remain unread. Federal budget portal bundeshaushalt.de (Soll and Ist per Titel), 2 Nov 2026
Bundesbericht Forschung und Innovation 2026 (federal research and innovation report): BuFI 2026 main volume (PDF created 15 May 2026), chapters 3.2 Künstliche Intelligenz and 9.2 High-Performance-Computing. No figure for the AI Strategy's outflow; states that the GCS is funded in equal parts by BMFTR and the Länder Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia, and that JUPITER is carried half by the EuroHPC JU and a quarter each by BMFTR and NRW's ministry, without amounts.

Still open
Cumulative outflow after March 2024: WirtschaftsWoche (22 Feb 2025) reports EUR 2.8 billion to end-2024 from the research ministry, but no Bundestag answer, BMFTR publication or audit report stating it was found; a final outflow for the strategy period ending 2025 is unverified.
Ist figures for BMBF budget items 3004/894 23 (exascale supercomputers) and 3004/894 21 (AI service-centre infrastructure) for 2023 onwards sit in the Haushaltsrechnung and later budget plans, which bundeshaushalt.de did not serve to non-browser requests.
Total federal payments for JUPITER (BMFTR share EUR 125 million per the host centre) and the federal half of Gauss Centre funding are not stated in any document read; GCS base funding agreements (Bund–Länder) were not found.
Gaia-X funding from BMWK budget items other than the AI-funded 0901/683 21 and 0918/539 99 (for example the Gaia-X funding competition) is unquantified here.
