Sovereign programme record · Spain · 2024–2025
Every figure below derives from the same record the dashboard reads — this page is the programme as a citable object: the reconciliation with its denominator stated, the decomposition with its residual, and the dated evidence behind each claim.
Pipeline stage: Appropriated (high confidence) — 10% of announced disbursed. The stage is a Scrutica derivation (tier 4), computed from the figures above, never asserted by the source.
| Component | Kind | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| EUR 1.5B National AI Strategy 2024 | Government | $1.64B |
| MareNostrum 5 system (EUR 151.41M, 50/50 EuroHPC/Spain) | Government | $165M |
| BSC AI Factory EUR 129M upgrade (Jan 2026, 50/50 EuroHPC/Spain) | Government | $141M |
| EUR 90M MN5 general investment | Government | $98M |
The residualThe amount-bearing components sum to $2.04B against the $1.64B headline — a $404M excess over the headline. The decomposition is published as the record carries it; the residual is stated rather than smoothed.

NVIDIA hardware: medium · TSMC fabrication: high · US technology: medium · BIS jurisdiction reach: low. Dependence levels are Scrutica classifications (tier 4) from the programme’s own disclosures — which hardware it buys, where it fabricates, and whose export jurisdiction its supply chain crosses.
Named partners: BSC-CNS, EuroHPC JU, Spanish Government, Catalan Government, FSAS Technologies, Telefonica, Fujitsu.
MareNostrum 5 over 450 PFLOPS. BSC AI Factory operational. Mixed architecture (AMD, Intel, not exclusively NVIDIA). ALIA project training Europe's largest public AI model on MareNostrum 5.
Machine surfacesThis record is one object under one id: the evidence-trail feed and the derivation-chain export serialize the same programme this page renders.
