Accelerating European AI Innovation: Connecting AI Factories, Industry, and Digital Ecosystems
European Union has made significant investments in AI through AI Factories, designed to accelerate AI innovation, strengthen competitiveness and help businesses in developing cutting-edge AI solutions. The real impact of these investments depends on making these infrastructures accessible to innovators, start-ups and SMEs, and connecting them with other digital innovation ecosystems.
LUMI AI Factory is one of 19 EU-funded AI Factories, tasked to support European companies to develop, train and scale advanced AI solutions. Through tailored expert support and access to data and computing resources, LUMI AI Factory helps to lower the barriers to AI innovation and adoption.
This interactive one-hour workshop features presentations from LUMI AI Factory, industry and EDIH to explore how seamless collaboration between AI Factories and other digital ecosystems enable European AI innovation by supporting the development of new AI solutions, services and business opportunities. Participants will discover the LUMI AI Factory service offering, real world industry perspectives and emerging AI use cases, as well as benefits offered by tight collaboration between European AI infrastructures.
Whether you are an experienced AI innovator seeking access to data and computing resources, an SME or a start-up exploring AI opportunities, or EDIH or TEF looking to partner up with AI Factory this workshop is for you.
