IQM has announced deployment in Poland’ s first superconducting quantum computer. The full-stack superconducting quantum computer IQM Spark will be installed at Wrocław University of Science and Technology( WUST) in Poland in Q2 2025. The first quantum computer in Poland, developed by IQM Quantum Computers, will be operational at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology( WUST) in the second quarter of this year.
The installment of a full-stack quantum computer marks a critical milestone in the country’ s technological advancement. The
5-qubit quantum computer called IQM Spark will enable the university to spearhead research work mainly in the field of computer science.
The system will also be made available to researchers, doctoral candidates and computer science students. Some of the first users who will run their programmes on the system are expected to be members of the qubit quantum computing club operating at the university.

SWEDEN
Nordic data centre firm atNorth, will host the infrastructure for 6G AI Sweden’ s National AI Cloud at its SWE01 facility in Stockholm. The announcement details the provision of state-of-the-art AI infrastructure at atNorth’ s site.
6G AI Sweden is set to acquire Nvidia’ s advanced AI chips, the H200 and Blackwell GB200, to underpin the development of this
National AI Cloud. This initiative aims to advance AI innovation across diverse sectors.
The European Commission has launched a € 7.3 billion investment under the 2025 Horizon Europe work programme to drive European research, innovation and sustainability. The funding will accelerate the green and digital transitions and enhance the EU’ s economic resilience.
The programme aligns with the EU’ s Strategic Plan for 2025 – 2027, prioritising talent, climate action, digital leadership and global collaboration. Lump-sum grants now constitute 35 % of the budget, reducing administrative burdens. A significant focus is placed on the green and digital transitions, with 35 % of the budget allocated to climate-related initiatives(€ 1.14 billion for energy, transport and climate resilience; € 833 million for food, agriculture and biodiversity) and 36 % to digital innovation(€ 1.6 billion for AI, data security and smart infrastructure).

Global food and beverage company Danone is upgrading its central data platform, aiming for a 30 % reduction in data analysis time to expedite decision-making across the organisation. Their Data and Analytics team has developed One Source 2.0, a centralised platform for both analytics and Artificial Intelligence applications. The new system is designed to provide all employees with data access while maintaining data quality and consistent governance.
To establish this platform, Danone has partnered with American firm Databricks, replacing their previous data platform in use since 2021. One Source 2.0 is intended to be the primary source of reliable data for building specific analytical applications, including those focused on consumer and patient engagement. The platform change seeks to improve data usage efficiency, lower platform expenses and enhance standardisation.
The National AI Cloud, situated within atNorth’ s SWE01 data centre, will operate under Swedish data sovereignty and adhere to GDPR regulations. Furthermore, atNorth’ s SWE01 site utilises renewable energy and heat reuse, aligning with 6G AI Sweden’ s sustainability objectives.
The Databricks platform employs a lakehouse architecture, merging the flexibility and scalability of data lakes with the data management and ACID transaction capabilities of data warehouses, supplemented by governance features for enhanced user data control.
