Official launch for UG-led 'National Gateway to European AI network'

A University of Galway led project that will serve as a 'national gateway to Europe's AI network' has been officially launched.

It's after the AIF IRL-Antenna programme secured investment of €10m in joint European and Irish Government funding.

It aims to offer startups, SMEs, researchers and public sector organisations streamlined access to world-class AI resources, technical expertise, training programmes and innovation support.

The AIF IRL-Antenna programme is operated by the Irish Centre for High-End Computing, or ICHEC, at University of Galway.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science James Lawless said:

“The launch of the AI Factory Antenna marks an important step forward for Ireland’s digital future. By bringing together businesses, researchers and public sector organisations, it will help create an environment where innovation can thrive and where organisations of all sizes can access the support, they need to make the most of AI.
