Romania has been selected among the six European countries that will develop a centre for artificial intelligence and supercomputing under the EuroHPC - AI Factories programme. The AI Factory project will be the country's first national artificial intelligence infrastructure and is a strategic step to strengthen digital and research capacities. The initiative is coordinated by the National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest and the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics (ICI Bucharest), in partnership with universities, research institutes and industry organisations.

RO AI Factory will involve the acquisition and operation of a state-of-the-art supercomputer, optimised for artificial intelligence applications, as well as the development of advanced services and infrastructures dedicated to research, business and the public sector. Priority areas include industry and manufacturing, cyber security, life sciences, digital public services and autonomous systems. The project will support researchers, universities, start-ups, SMEs and public institutions through access to high-performance computing resources, datasets, software tools and training programmes.
