Greece is taking a significant step in the technology sector with the unveiling of “Daedalus,” the new national supercomputer. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited Lavrio to see the project firsthand, emphasizing that our country is now acquiring a powerful tool for the development of artificial intelligence.
“Daedalus” possesses impressive computational power, reaching 85.69 petaflops. This performance places it in 31st place on the global “TOP500” list, which includes the most powerful supercomputers on the entire planet.
The operation of this system is expected to significantly assist the Greek scientific community and businesses. By using “Daedalus,” researchers will be able to process vast amounts of data much faster, promoting innovation in fields such as medicine, climate change, and the analysis of complex problems.
This investment is part of Greece’s strategy for digital transformation. The government’s goal is for the country to become a major technology hub in Southeast Europe, offering new opportunities to young scientists and strengthening the competitiveness of the national economy.
