### External dependence NVIDIA hardware: Unknown · US technology: High. These are editorial assessments based on the programme’s procurement disclosures. Named partners: PSNC, Poznan University of Technology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Nicolaus Copernicus University, EuroHPC JU, Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs. PSNC leads PIAST-AI with Poznań University of Technology, Adam Mickiewicz University and Nicolaus Copernicus University. A June 2026 account by PSNC staff describes a €100 million investment, with new-infrastructure procurement planned for 2027 and full operation for 2028. Existing PSNC computing platforms already support AI models and services. Poland also participates in the LUMI AI Factory consortium. ### Data-quality caveats on this record · 3 - PSNC’s June 2025 hosting announcement planned more than 1,000 GPUs without naming a model. The June 2026 account gives a later implementation schedule but no revised GPU specification. - CORDIS lists €12.5 million in total project costs and a €6.25 million EU contribution for PIAST AIF, running from May 2026 to April 2029. The sources do not itemise how this grant relates to the €100 million infrastructure investment described by PSNC staff. - The June 2025 hosting agreement establishes PSNC’s role. The May 2026 consortium update discusses GPU procurement without naming an awarded hardware supplier. ### The evidence trail 7 cited sources - [PSNC: June 2025 hosting agreement, consortium and planned GPU capacity](https://www.psnc.pl/the-launch-of-the-first-polish-ai-factory-piast-ai/) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [EuroHPC: March 2025 PIAST-AI selection](https://www.eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/eurohpc-ju-selects-additional-ai-factories-strengthen-europes-ai-leadership-2025-03-12_en) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [EuroHPC: PIAST-AI services and consortium infrastructure](https://www.eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/ai-factories/poland_en) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [PSNC: May 2026 review of GPU procurement and project work packages](https://www.psnc.pl/ai-factory-in-action-piast-ai-project-partners-meet-at-pcss/) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [PSNC staff: June 2026 infrastructure budget, procurement in 2027 and full operation in 2028](https://connect.geant.org/2026/06/17/pcss-piast-dynasty-from-the-first-polish-state-to-the-ai-and-quantum-valley) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [CORDIS: PIAST AIF grant 101250730, project costs, EU contribution and 2026–29 term](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101250730) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 - [EuroHPC: Poland’s participation in the LUMI AI Factory consortium](https://www.eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/selection-first-seven-ai-factories-drive-europes-leadership-ai-2024-12-10_en) — Primary source · accessed 2026-09-08 Machine access The same record, machine-readable: the [evidence-trail feed](https://scrutica.com/sovereign-ai/program/sovereign-pl/feed.xml) and the [derivation-chain export](https://scrutica.com/api/sovereign-programs/derivation-chain/pl).
