Lenovo has reached the milestone of manufacturing and shipping one million workstations and servers from its first purpose built in-house manufacturing facility in Europe, just over one year after it opened its doors in Budapest.

After 10 months of construction during the pandemic, the facility opened in June 2022 to support customers throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) with their requirements for server infrastructure, storage systems and high-end PC workstations.

As of June 2023, the facility has provided solutions to more than 1,000 customers in 69 countries and seen the scale and speed of operations accelerate over the past year. Over 180 customers have visited the site, enabling deeper collaboration, transparency and understanding with Lenovo customers across the EMEA region.

“Opening the Hungary facility was an important milestone for Lenovo, extending our international manufacturing operations and representing significant economic potential for both the private and public sectors in the country,” said Szabolcs Zolyomi, Factory Site Leader at Lenovo.

“The achievement of shipping one million units is testament to the past year of internal and external collaboration with our employees and customers. We have been able to respond to customer needs more effectively, with greater efficiency and control over product development and supply chain operations, all while continuing our commitment to sustainability and supporting the local community.”

Participants in the first International AI Olympiad (IAIO) continue their scientific tests in Riyadh as part of the Global AI Summit.

Representatives from 25 countries are participating in the event, which is organized by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) in collaboration with the International Center for AI Research and Ethics (ICAIRE) and the International Research Center on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) in Slovenia, under the sponsorship of UNESCO.
The IAIO tests lasted five hours on Wednesday, during which participants individually answered the questions. The names of the gold, silver, and bronze medal winners will be announced on Thursday, SPA reported.
SDAIA aims to make IAIO a global platform for AI competitions, nurturing talents and enhancing their skills. It is envisioned as a meeting point for scientists and enthusiasts from around the world to exchange expertise, develop skills, and stay updated on the latest advancements. SDAIA also aspires for this Olympiad to be the foundation for its future expansion into other countries, marking a significant step in encouraging young people worldwide to create a new generation with a deep understanding of AI technologies, which have become integral to daily lives and business systems.
