Our country will be represented by FAIMA, a Moldovan artificial intelligence factory antenna, one of the 13 antennas selected by EuroHPC (European High Performance Computing Collaborative Initiative).
The aim of this initiative is to expand the European network of “artificial intelligence factories” providing access to supercomputers, secure data resources and infrastructures that are dedicated to AI research and innovation.
For Moldova, FAIMA represents a strategic opportunity to connect the scientific, entrepreneurial and social community to European supercomputing resources, contributing to the country’s transition to an economy based on technology and innovation.
The launch of FAIMA is a direct result of the cooperation between the Republic of Moldova and the European Commission.
This cooperation confirms the European Union’s support for the country’s digital development and Moldova’s full integration into the single European digital market.
The EU will invest about 55 million euros in the new antennas, to which will be added the contributions of the states participating in the EuroHPC initiative.
Each antenna will work in coordination with one of the existing AI factories in Europe, facilitating access of researchers, entrepreneurs and public institutions to supercomputing resources optimized for AI applications.
In the case of the Republic of Moldova, FAIMA will be connected to the PIAST Artificial Intelligence Factory in Poland, which will provide experience sharing, technical support and cross-border collaboration between the region’s innovation ecosystems….
The EuroHPC Joint Venture brings together the European Union and Member States to make Europe a world leader in supercomputing and new technologies.
To date, EuroHPC has acquired 11 state-of-the-art supercomputers distributed across Europe. Through the Artificial Intelligence Factory network and new antennas, EuroHPC is creating an interconnected ecosystem that will enable collaboration, resource sharing and knowledge transfer between European states.
Thus, Moldovan researchers and companies will have direct access to high-performance computing infrastructures and will be able to participate in pan-European research and innovation projects.
Earlier it was reported that Moldova became the 37th member state to join the EuroHPC initiative to become a leader in supercomputing in Europe.
