An initiative that defines our future
Europe faces a defining moment. The current path of AI development is neither sustainable nor scalable. Next Frontier AI exists to establish genuine technological independence by discovering and building the next AI frontier right here, creating labs where radical new paradigms emerge under European leadership and values. This is our leap forward.
Building the next frontier in Europe
Frontier AI defines technological progress across industries, economies, societies, and geopolitics. If Europe relies on systems designed elsewhere, it threatens our autonomy, values and economic future.
The answer isn't incremental catch-up – it's a fundamentally different approach. One that pursues breakthrough paradigms beyond today's dominant architectures. Next Frontier AI empowers builders with funding that removes capital constraints, radical technological freedom that enables genuine experimentation, and a foundation of shared European values that promotes responsibility and freedom, while aligning with societal needs.
To make this leap possible, we have created an environment in which ambitious ideas thrive. That means funding without the red tape, giving labs real firepower from day one. Technological freedom that lets teams explore new S‑curves instead of optimising old ones. Unrivalled structural support that connects top AI talent, strengthens teams and leverages individual expertise. And shared values to ensure that any breakthroughs strengthen Europe's sovereignty and society, rather than eroding them. Together, these create the conditions where Europe does not just compete in AI, it redefines what’s possible.
Let’s build the next frontier together, for Europe.
