AI Factory Antennas

Funds one national entity or consortium per EuroHPC country to run an AI Factory Antenna offering AI compute access, training and support tied to an established AI Factory.

A single entity, or exceptionally a consortium of entities, from one EuroHPC Participating State applies with a detailed 70-page technical proposal covering the Antenna's concept, its planned tools, data facilities and services, an implementation plan with KPIs and risk management, and a budget estimate. The application must include a Letter of Support from the Participating State committing to fu…

This topic wants a single entity or consortium representing one EuroHPC Participating State to set up an AI Factory Antenna: remote access to a linked AI Factory's supercomputing capacity, algorithmic support, training and talent-development services for the national AI ecosystem. It requires a pre-agreed association with an already-selected 'established AI Factory' and a Letter of Support from the Participating State's government committing to cover costs beyond the EU contribution.
