The September 2026 edition of AI Report Magazine features the PHAROS AI Factory alongside Greece’s new supercomputer DAEDALUS, highlighting how the two infrastructures work together to strengthen the country’s Artificial Intelligence and High Performance Computing ecosystem. The edition includes a dedicated feature on DAEDALUS, as well as an interview with Stefanos Kollias, Chairman of GRNET and Professor Emeritus at NTUA, focusing on the digital infrastructures shaping Greece’s technological development.
DAEDALUS provides computing power, while PHAROS, the Greek AI Factory turns that capacity into practical AI applications and solutions, bridging research, entrepreneurship and the public sector and supporting the development of a reliable and sustainable Artificial Intelligence ecosystem in Greece.
Through advanced AI services and access to high-performance computing resources, PHAROS aims to support researchers, start-ups, SMEs, public organisations and other stakeholders in developing, testing and scaling AI solutions. Particular emphasis is placed on areas of strategic importance for Greece, including Health, Language and Culture and Sustainability.
The AI Report Magazine also highlights the role of DAEDALUS as the computational foundation of this ecosystem. As Greece’s new national High Performance Computing system, DAEDALUS significantly expands the country’s computational capacity and provides the infrastructure needed for demanding scientific and AI workloads. Its performance and energy efficiency are reflected in its 31st position in the TOP500 and 23rd position in the Green500.
In his interview, Stefanos Kollias places PHAROS and DAEDALUS within the broader development of Greece’s digital infrastructure and the country’s efforts to strengthen its digital autonomy. Their combined capabilities create the conditions for advanced applications in areas ranging from large-scale data analysis and biomedical research to natural-disaster forecasting, energy planning and trustworthy Artificial Intelligence systems.
Through PHAROS AI Factory, the computational capabilities of DAEDALUS are connected with expertise, services and an innovation ecosystem designed to support the practical development and adoption of AI across research, industry and the public sector.
