Slovenia

Address: SI

Slovenia hosts the EuroHPC Vega supercomputer and a selected AI Factory that will replace Vega with an AI-optimised system near Maribor by 2027.

Slovenia's public compute is built around Vega, a EuroHPC system hosted by IZUM in Maribor and open through EuroHPC access calls. The Slovenian AI Factory (SLAIF) will add a new AI-optimised EuroHPC supercomputer at an Arnes data centre near the Mariborski otok hydroelectric plant, which the government says will replace Vega by 2027. A National Programme for AI 2030 was put to public consultation in November 2025. For someone seeking compute, Vega is usable now through EuroHPC, and SLAIF offers onboarding hubs in Ljubljana, Maribor and Novo Mesto.

AI policy and activity

The Ministry of Digital Transformation published a draft National Programme for Artificial Intelligence 2030 (NpUI 2030) on 17 November 2025, with comments due by 18 December 2025. The consultation notice stresses technological sovereignty and the Slovenian language and does not set out compute measures.

Power and grid

We did not fetch grid operator pages for Slovenia. The only power context read is that the SLAIF system will sit next to a hydroelectric plant and is described as supported by renewable sources.

Recorded facility evidence

These separately checked records retain their own source dates and explicit gaps; this does not refresh the other country fields or establish current operation or available compute.

Vega (IZUM, Maribor) Record checked 17 October 2026. Inspect its evidence and limits.

Checked on 3 October 2026 and due for review by 1 January 2027. Many sources are trade press or law-firm summaries rather than official texts, and statuses such as reported or unconfirmed are shown as the source gives them. This is a summary, not legal advice.
