The Fortissimo Plus project aims to support startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through access to supercomputing infrastructure and the development of generative AI.
High-performance computing (HPC) and AI are currently considered transformative technologies that can significantly increase industrial competitiveness and deliver numerous economic and social benefits.
In this context, the Fortissimo Plus project will support and strengthen the position of SMEs by addressing technical aspects, facilitating access to EuroHPC resources, and supporting companies in business development and outreach activities.
Each year, the project announces competitions in which companies can apply for one of two tracks: business experiments for entities with no experience using HPC infrastructure, or innovation research for entities with experience in generative AI. One of the conditions for receiving a grant is demonstrating the business benefits of using supercomputing or generative AI.
The successful implementation of the technology will be promoted through success stories that will focus on the benefits of using these technologies in business processes.
The project is presented in the video by Patrycja Dąbrowska-Wierzbicka and Marta Maj, responsible for contacts with entrepreneurs interested in taking advantage of the support opportunities offered by the Fortissimo Plus project at ACC Cyfronet AGH.
