🇪🇺 Europe has what it takes to lead in AI but it needs to act. 🧠 On stage with SemiAnalysis, during the RAISE Summit, Damien Lucas, CEO of Scaleway, reminded us: “We must bring AI to the data, not the data to AI.” Most companies already store their data in the cloud. Moving it to third-party GPU brokers adds risk and complexity. 🔒 Europe must stop outsourcing its AI future. Sovereign infrastructure is key to control, security, and performance. That’s the ambition behind AION: a European AI ecosystem, built by and for Europe: open, accessible, and powerful. 🎯 What’s missing? Not capital. Not talent. We need more incentive to use European services. 🌍 1 million GPU hours to dream big in Europe: the campaign may be over, but if you’re building bold AI in Europe, we still want to hear from you.

📶 Did you know that mobile usage on PLAY's network can surge by more than 500% in some holiday resorts during the summer? At a recent press conference in Warsaw, Play, the iliad Group’s Polish subsidiary, shared how it prepares its infrastructure to absorb the dramatic spike in mobile traffic that comes with the holiday season. ☀️ Every summer, millions of people leave major cities and head to the coast or countryside. This seasonal shift causes mobile data consumption to skyrocket in tourist areas — in some cases, by over +500%. 🎙️ On stage, Malgorzata Zakrzewska (Chief Corporate Affairs Officer) and Michal Ziolkowski (CTO and Management Board Member) outlined the results of an ambitious strategy: anticipate, invest, and scale fast. They also presented Play’s ongoing plans to expand its mobile infrastructure: 🟣 Play now operates the fastest-growing mobile network in Poland, with a record 12,669 base stations 🟣 The company plans to surpass 15,000 base stations in the near future 🟣 In Q1 2025 alone, Play’s customers used 1,069 petabytes of data 🟣 Mobile data usage on Play’s network is growing by approximately 20% year over year 🟣 4.9 million 5G-enabled devices are already connected to the network 🟣 Currently, 8 out of 10 smartphones sold by Play support 5G 💡 At the iliad Group, this reflects a shared ambition across all our markets: to build Europe’s most powerful and resilient telecom infrastructure, ready to meet the most demanding usage peaks, with no compromise on performance.
