MUNICH, Feb. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Embedded LLM, a leading provider of LLM inference technology, today officially launched EU AI grid at the Cyber Security Conference in Munich. The EU AI Grid treats artificial intelligence like electricity – a utility that is metered, controlled and delivered through local infrastructure, keeping jobs and economic value in Europe.
Just as each European country runs its own energy network, the EU AI Grid is a federated network of locally managed AI infrastructure nodes – starting with the first deployment at Telecentras in Vilnius, Lithuania on January 22, 2026 – where local operators hire local teams, set local prices and keep revenues at home.
“It doesn’t matter who built the car,” he said Ghee Leng Ooi, Founder of Embedded LLM. “It’s about who owns the road. If you own the infrastructure, the technical roles, the operational tasks and the economic value remain with you.”
Where the jobs are
The current AI economy is working against Europe. Foreign providers build data centers on European territory, consume European energy and leave a carbon footprint here. They then sell the information back to European companies at a high price. The EU AI Grid turns this around. Local operators manage the infrastructure, employ local teams and keep the value at home, from Vilnius to Berlin to Rome.
The electricity grid is already expanding from Lithuania to Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Germany and Italy.
“We set the traffic rules with the EU AI Act, but we didn’t build the roads,” he said Paulius Kuncinas, Executive Partner at Embedded LLM Europe. “The EU AI Grid is that roads – and roads create jobs wherever they are built.”
On stage with the EU Commissioner for Defense and Space
At the same time, the EU AI Grid was launched on stage Andrius Kubilius, European Commissioner for Defense and Spacewho spoke about the urgent need for operational AI capabilities to protect Europe’s information environment.
“We Europeans would never accept a situation where a hostile aircraft could enter our airspace unnoticed for days,” Commissioner Kubilius said. “But today, coordinated AI-driven narrative operations can move through our information environment without triggering a comparable alert or response. Security requires operational capabilities, not just rules.”
