HORIZON-RIA / Slovenian AI Factory – SLAIF / Partner, UP Lead: Dr. Marko Tkalčič, UP FAMNIT

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (JU) has announced six newly selected locations for new AI factories across Europe, bringing the total to thirteen. The Slovenian AI Factory (SLAIF), which includes a new EuroHPC supercomputer optimized for AI and located in Slovenia, is one of the selected proposals. The project will be co-financed by the EuroHPC JU and the Republic of Slovenia (through the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation). AI factories are dynamic ecosystems that foster innovation, collaboration, and research in the field of AI. The Slovenian AI Factory (SLAIF) will enhance Slovenia's AI capabilities by integrating a state-of-the-art supercomputer optimized for AI into a dynamic AI ecosystem that supports industry, research, and public institutions. The supercomputer will replace the current Vega EuroHPC system by 2027, ensuring continued excellence in computing and storage infrastructure for industry and science. // MORE //
