"The project, coordinated by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), aims to help UK businesses and researchers take their first steps in using AI to improve productivity and unlock new economic potential. It will focus on raising digital literacy, providing technical expertise, and creating a pathway for companies to embed AI safely and efficiently within their operations."
"The AI Factory Antenna will employ 20 full-time staff at EPCC, offering services to startups, SMEs, large industrial firms, and public sector organisations. Its mission: to help organisations identify where AI can deliver tangible value - from automating administrative tasks to analysing complex data at scale. With support from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), which is contributing £2.5 million, the initiative will play a key role in ensuring the benefits of AI extend beyond the laboratory to real-world applications across the economy."
A new €10 million initiative will accelerate AI use across British science, business and public services through UK–EU collaboration. The University of Edinburgh's EPCC will establish the UK AI Factory Antenna (UKAIFA) with joint EU and UK funding as part of a pan‑European network. Coordinated by EuroHPC JU, the project will help businesses and researchers take initial AI steps to improve productivity and unlock economic value by raising digital literacy, providing technical expertise and creating pathways to embed AI safely and efficiently. UKAIFA will employ 20 staff to support startups, SMEs, industry and the public sector and will target health, fintech, energy, creative industries, engineering and robotics; DSIT will contribute £2.5 million.
