US EditionEU Prosecutor Probes BSC's Next Generation Funds
- The European Public Prosecutor’s Office has launched an inquiry into the Barcelona Supercomputing Center regarding concerns about the improper handling of close to €8 million allocated from the EU’s Next Generation funding program for the Marenostrum-on quantum computing project as of 2025.
- The probe arose from concerns about whether the funds were spent according to EU regulations, raising questions on accountability, clarity, and strategic direction in European tech investments.
- Officers from Spain’s specialized unit investigating economic and fiscal crimes visited BSC headquarters to review documents aimed at tracking the movement of funds, underscoring the investigation’s gravity and its potential effects on Spain’s digital innovation initiatives.
- The investigation, involving around €8 million, may result in tighter rules and more rigorous examination of upcoming funding requests, which could hinder the advancement of quantum computing in Europe and widen the divide with global competitors.
- The investigation underscores the need for robust oversight and transparency to maintain public trust and ensure Spain and Europe can effectively advance quantum computing through collaboration among government, academia, and industry.
