This sounds bad but that's how EU project grants work: A lot of bigger corporations are part of those consortiums in tandem with universities and smaller corporations.
I'm not saying that the way the EU pisses money away on projects that mostly don't lead anywhere (*cough* GAIA-X *cough*) is great but if you are part of a bunch of EU Projects 3.5 million is not a lot. Given their size they also had to provide 50% of in-kind contributions (maybe even more) so this is really not that relevant. Every bigger "AI", "hyperscale", BS project will include those hardware partners.
