Cyprus
Cyprus reaches EuroHPC compute through the Pharos-CY antenna linked to Greece's AI Factory, and a draft national AI strategy was out for consultation in 2026.
EuroHPC selected Pharos-CY in October 2025 as an AI Factory Antenna linked to the Greek Pharos AI Factory. The Cyprus Institute coordinates it with universities and centres of excellence, offering AI expertise, datasets and HPC resources via the Greek DAEDALUS system. Reported in August 2026: a draft national AI strategy with a 2032 horizon was on public consultation and proposed a sovereign AI infrastructure roadmap by 2028. We found no Cypriot data centre records to add.
AI policy and activity
Reported by Cyprus Mail on 7 August 2026: the draft strategy lists sovereign capacity for sensitive workloads, national shared infrastructure, G-Cloud integration, Pharos-CY and EuroHPC access, but has no costed implementation plan.
Power and grid
No data centre records added: the compute route read is the Greek DAEDALUS system, not a facility in Cyprus. We did not fetch grid operator pages.
