Hibridni događaj
Organizers:
MIPRO and CroAi
Forum Purpose:
To operationalise the European AI and HPC strategy by connecting policy intent, digital infrastructure, industrial deployment, and economic impact, with a strong focus on Anorganic Intelligence, systemic AI adoption, HPC integration, and regulatory alignment.
The Economic AI and HPC Forum is positioned as a strategic flagship dialogue organised by MIPRO and CroAI, complementing MIPRO's 17 ICT scientific conferences (more than 400 papers) by focusing on:
- transition towards Anorganic Intelligence,
- infrastructure development,
- Enterprise AI Readiness Proactivity (Agentic AI) and Reactivity
(Generative AI),
- economic impact transition.
The Forum aims to present the EU’s strategic frameworks, as well as the technological and infrastructural environments for the development of a smart industry powered by AI and HPC—encompassing both large enterprises and SMEs.
It will further articulate a forward-looking vision of Anorganic Intelligence as the next evolutionary layer beyond conventional AI—enabling autonomous, system-level, and infrastructure-embedded intelligence.
Objectives:
- Position AI as a strategic economic ecosystem
- Frame AI as a driver of sovereignty and competitiveness
- Introduce the concept of Anorganic Intelligence beyond narrow AI
- Europe’s AI ambition within the Digital Decade 2030
- Strategic autonomy, resilience, and economic security
- Transition from innovation policy to industrial AI policy
- Supporting the “new industrial stack” through a robust financial ecosystem

Presentation of Pantheon at the Economic AI & HPC Forum
A New Mega Data Center That Could Transform Croatia’s Digital Landscape
The ambitious AI innovation and data center project “Pantheon”, announced as one of the largest planned data centers in Europe, could position Croatia among Europe’s key hubs for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
The planned facility will have a total capacity of 1 GW and infrastructure exceeding today’s Tier IV reliability standards. The project includes the construction of new substations, transmission lines, optical network infrastructure, and renewable energy sources, including a large-scale solar power plant dedicated to supporting the center’s operations.
Pantheon represents the convergence of digital infrastructure, energy, and artificial intelligence, and is expected to create thousands of new jobs during both the construction and operational phases while stimulating the growth of Croatia’s domestic IT and technology sectors.
Construction is expected to begin in 2027, with the center potentially becoming operational by the end of the decade.
