FFplus Open Call for Business Experiments and Innovation Studies is officially launched
We are happy to announce the first FFplus Open Call for Business Experiments and Innovation Studies is officially launched!
FFplus is a European initiative, highlighting the adoption of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and (generative) Artificial Intelligence (AI) for SMEs and Start-ups across Europe, showing the business benefits and impacts of adopting HPC and AI in real business models.
SMEs and Start-ups now have the opportunity to shift their innovation potential through the two types of the Open Call:
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.
Find more information about the Open Call for Business Experiments here.
Innovation studies 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.
