Official source: COM(2026) 502 final — Proposal for a Cloud and AI Development Act

(11)

The Cloud and AI Leadership Initiatives should reinforce the competitiveness and
            resilience of the cloud and AI technological and industrial base of the Union, while
            strengthening the innovation capacity of its cloud and AI ecosystem and achieving the
            deployment of large-scale digital infrastructures, in line with the objectives set out in
            the AI continent action plan and the Apply AI Strategy. In particular, the Cloud and AI
            Leadership Initiatives should increase the cloud and data centre capacity of the Union,
            while advancing cutting-edge cloud and AI technologies together with broad cloud
            and AI adoption across the Union’s economy. It should also bring advanced research
            in sector-specific deployment of frontier, physical and industrial AI. The Apply AI
            Strategy should extend the ambitions and objectives set out in the AI continent action
            plan and should be updated where necessary to take account of the latest technological
            developments and progress made in the Cloud and AI Leadership Initiatives.
