        "content": "<p>Athens (ANTARA) \u2013 Greece inaugurated its national supercomputer,\nDaedalus, on Monday (19 October) at Lavrio Technological and Cultural\nPark, south-east of Athens, with the aim of strengthening its artificial\nintelligence (AI) capabilities and reducing dependence on foreign\ncomputing infrastructure, the prime minister\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n<p>Named after Daedalus, a skilled craftsman and inventor in Greek\nmythology, the system has achieved a measured performance of 85.69\npetaflops. It ranks 31st in the June 2026 TOP500 list of the world\u2019s\nmost powerful supercomputers and 23rd in the Green500 list of the most\nenergy-efficient systems.<\/p>\n<p>Daedalus is expected to begin providing services in December,\nfollowing testing and technical adjustments, according to Greece\u2019s\nMinistry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>The supercomputer will support scientific research, large-scale data\nprocessing and AI development. It will also serve as the computing\nbackbone for Greece\u2019s Pharos AI Factory, part of a developing European\nnetwork of AI factories, the government said.<\/p>\n<p>At the inauguration, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said\nGreece did not intend to compete with major international technology\ncompanies to develop the world\u2019s most advanced AI models, but would\ninstead focus on practical applications that deliver tangible economic\nbenefits.<\/p>\n<p>Greece\u2019s Minister of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence,\nDimitris Papastergiou, highlighted opportunities for co-operation with\nCyprus, Malta, Serbia and North Macedonia. He said the system would give\nGreece greater control over its data and computing resources, Xinhua\nreported.<\/p>",
