The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has selected the consortium led by the Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH in Kraków to establish the Gaia AI Factory – a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence factory in Poland.
The LUMI AI Factory is one of the European Union's first AI Factories, seamlessly combining world-class computing power, high-quality data, and top-tier AI talent. The first services of the LUMI AI Factory have now been launched. The services are free of charge for startups, SMEs, and academic researchers. The LUMI AI Factory accelerates AI innovation across Europe.
We invite all interested parties to training in the use of supercomputers organized by Cyfronet in the near future.
EPICURE introduces the European HPC Application Support Portal, a strategic platform designed to support European researchers.
Ostrava, 23 September 2025 – Today, a new quantum computer named VLQ was officially inaugurated at IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center in the Czech Republic, in the presence of prominent Czech and European representatives, including the Polish delegation. It is the second quantum computer launched in Europe under EuroHPC JU. This important milestone marks another step towards building a cutting-edge European quantum computing infrastructure and supporting research and innovation across the continent. The acquisition and operation of VLQ is jointly managed by the pan-European LUMI-Q consortium, which brings together thirteen partners from eight countries.
Thanks to the supercomputers installed in ACK Cyfronet AGH, thousands of research projects are conducted, whose results exceed the current horizons of knowledge. Using multi-faceted data processing, scientists are able to model molecules or substances with desired properties, which is crucial for the development of biomedical engineering and the production of new materials. We are pleased to share two recent examples of such activities.
ACC Cyfronet AGH, the National Digital Archives (NAC), NASK, and the SpeakLeash project have launched a collaboration that could mark a new chapter in the development of artificial intelligence in Poland. Together, they aim to leverage NAC's vast archival resources - millions of photographs, maps, and scans - to create modern datasets essential for training advanced AI models.

With over a decade-long history and a strong reputation in Europe, the Fortissimo projects (Fortissimo 1 and 2, FF4EuroHPC) were granted a budget of €42,8 million and successfully executed more than 130 experiments involving 330 partners. These efforts have resulted in 120 success stories from over 20 EU countries, where SMEs developed new products and services with the help of HPC and AI, thereby bolstering the EU economy. Building on the methods and accomplishments of the Fortissimo project series, FFplus, with a total budget of €30,0 million, will continue to support and empower SMEs and Start-ups towards innovation. The First FFplus Open Call for Business Experiments was a success: 19 sub-projects were selected for funding, including 43 organisations from 15 European countries.
