DRIVING SME AND
STARTUP INNOVATION
BY UNLEASHING
THE POTENTIAL OF
HPC AND GENERATIVE AI

SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL TO AN OPEN CALL

During the project's lifetime, SMEs and Start-ups will be supported through six open calls to fund business experiments (Type 1) and innovation studies (Type 2).

Business experiments will address the uptake of HPC by SMEs in order to solve specific business challenges of SMEs that have had no prior use of, or experience with, HPC services.

 
Innovation studies, in contrast, will support European SMEs and Start-ups already active in the field of generative AI technology, which lack the necessary computational resources to scale up.

The First Open Call was launched on June 21st and will remain open for submissions until September 4th, 2024, at 17:00 Brussels local time.

Successful applicants will receive funding and support from FFplus to conduct these sub-projects. Find more information below and apply to an open call.

OPEN CALL WEBINARS: Will be offered on July 1st and July 8th, 2024. Find information on the webinars in the "Business Experiments" and "Innovation Studies" pages below.
