Application for an AI Factory in Austria

Objective

AI:AT – the AI Factory Austria – is a national initiative aimed at sustainably strengthening Austria's AI ecosystem. Through state-of-the-art supercomputing infrastructure, targeted support services, and a strong partner network, we are laying the foundation for powerful, secure, and economically viable AI applications. Funded by the European High Performance Computing (EuroHPC) Joint Undertaking, AI:AT makes a central contribution to Europe's competitiveness and innovation capacity in the field of artificial intelligence. With AI:AT, a key building block for a Europe-wide visible AI ecosystem is being created. We are fostering synergies with flagship projects such as the planned AI Center at the University of Vienna and TU Vienna, the biomedical AI institute AITHYRA, and the FWF Excellence Cluster Bilateral AI. In this way, AI:AT – the AI Factory Austria – sustainably strengthens Austria's international position as a hub for technology and innovation.
