EuroHPC AI Factories provide free compute access on European supercomputers for AI research and development with at least 15 facilities operational by end of 2026.
Multiple access modes are available: Playground access for SMEs, startups, and entry-level users with rapid FIFO access within 2 working days; Development Access with monthly cut-off dates throughout 2026; Large Scale Access with semi-monthly cut-off dates; and Fast Lane with no cut-off dates operating on a continuous rolling basis. The program also includes dedicated calls for AI for science and collaborative EU projects.
This complements the EuroHPC Frontier AI Grand Challenge by providing practical compute access for the broader European AI community.

The European Commission and EuroHPC Joint Undertaking launched the Frontier AI Grand Challenge in February 2026, a flagship competition to train a frontier-class general-purpose AI model using Europe's world-class supercomputing infrastructure. The selected project will receive up to 2.5% of overall EuroHPC computing capacity for one year on one or more AI-optimised EuroHPC supercomputers—the largest single compute allocation ever offered to a European AI project. Models must have computational capacity equivalent to at least 400 billion parameters and use efficient, modular architectures such as Mixture-of-Experts (MoE). The initiative aims to close Europe's strategic gap in high-end AI by producing open models made widely available to public authorities, scientific communities, and businesses across Europe, supporting innovation in key sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and autonomous systems. Proposals must be submitted through the F6S platform by April 13, 2026. The competition is part of the broader AI Continent Action Plan and complements the InvestAI programme and EuroHPC AI Factories.
EuroHPC AI Factory Access is a grant from the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking that provides European AI startups, SMEs, and researchers with free access to state-of-the-art supercomputing infrastructure. The program offers multiple access modes: Playground access for entry-level users, Fast Lane access for those needing up to 50,000 GPU hours, and Large Scale access for models requiring more than 50,000 GPU hours. AI SMEs and startups from EU and associated countries receive free access for innovation purposes, while other industrial users may access resources on a pay-per-use commercial basis. Scientific researchers from eligible public and private institutions also qualify for free access under publicly funded research or collaborative EU projects.
