Europe’s push for tech independence just got a serious boost. SiPearl, a French startup building high-performance chips for supercomputing and AI, has raised €130 million ($152 million) from a group of investors including Taiwan’s Cathay Venture, according to a report from Bloomberg. The funding will help the company scale up the development of its flagship Rhea1 chip and get it ready for mass production. The Rhea1 chip is a key piece of Europe’s strategy to stop relying on U.S. and Asian tech giants. Built with 80 cores from Arm and packing over 61 billion transistors, the chip will be used to power Jupiter—a European supercomputer project backed by the EU and based in Germany. https://techstartups.com/2025/07/08/sipearl-raises-e130m-to-build-ai-chips-for-eus-jupiter-supercomputer/
