Exploring HPC Opportunities with Alicorn: Strengthening Industry Collaboration

As part of our ongoing efforts to foster industry collaboration, the National Competence Centre (NCC) Montenegro recently conducted a follow-up consultation with representatives from Alicorn, Mr. Milutin Pavićević and Mr. Andrija Vučković. The meeting focused on exploring how High-Performance Computing (HPC) can be integrated into Alicorn’s development workflows, particularly in areas requiring substantial computational resources. Discussions also covered opportunities for accessing EuroHPC resources through open calls, as well as potential collaboration on Proof-of-Concept initiatives and joint project applications. We will also explore future options for open calls by Fortissimo and Innovation fund od Montenegro.

This was a follow up visit to Alicorn, an innovative technology company from Podgorica

Alicorn shared several promising use cases where HPC could significantly enhance their operations, including advanced data analytics and AI model training. This aligns with NCC Montenegro’s mission to support SMEs in leveraging HPC and AI technologies for innovation and competitiveness. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Alicorn and assisting them in navigating EuroHPC application processes, thereby contributing to the digital transformation of Montenegro’s tech industry.
