Your One-Stop Shop for HPC, HPDA, and AI in Montenegro
The National Competence Centre — HPC Montenegro is the country’s central hub for High-Performance Computing (HPC), High-Performance Data Analytics (HPDA), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We serve as the national gateway to world-class EuroHPC JU infrastructure, empowering domestic innovators with European-scale computational power..
Initially established at the University of Donja Gorica (UDG) under the Horizon Europe program (EuroCC), and expanded with the University of Montenegro (UCG) as an affiliated partner during the EuroCC2/EuroCC4SEE phases under the Digital Europe program, our initiative now consolidates its impact through the EuroCC 3 project. Under this current phase, our mission is to democratize supercomputing, bridge the advanced skills gap, foster pioneering academic research alongside a smart public sector, while directly driving digital transformation and innovative growth across Montenegro’s industry, SMEs, and startups.
Why HPC?
When your local hardware hits its limits, HPC Montenegro provides direct access to top-tier EuroHPC resources and tailored expert support. Whether you need to process large-scale datasets, run highly parallel simulations, or train advanced AI/ML models, we bridge the competence and resource gap. We help businesses, public administration, and academia transition from standard computing to high-performance capabilities, boosting innovation potential and operational efficiencies.
What We Do:
- Training & skills development: We offer hands-on workshops, compact training, professional courses, and masterclasses in HPC, AI, and Big Data to build future-ready workforce.
- Industry & SME support: We provide technical expertise to startups and SMEs, helping them integrate HPC and AI to optimize business operations and accelerate innovation cycles.
- Access to world-class HPC infrastructure: We facilitate free access to national and European supercomputing resources enabling innovative companies and top researchers to run critical simulations and train complex AI models overnight.
EuroCC 3 Project
- NCC Montenegro is part of EuroCC3 project (National Competence Centres in the framework of EuroHPC), a pan-European network comprising over 40 members and associate members from 36 countries, coordinated by the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS).
- The project EuroCC 3 is a successor of the EuroCC 1 and EuroCC 2/EuroCC4SEE projects. In the first phase, the NCCs were established in over 30 European countries, acting as single points of contact and service hub for HPC/HPDA/AI. In the second phase, the services of the NCCs are intensively offered to industry, academia, and the public sector: training opportunities, capacity building, technical expertise, research excellence and supercomputing resources. In the third phase (EuroCC3) the activities of the HPC Montenegro are continued, focusing on the following tasks:
- Outreach & Network – Raising awareness and fostering collaborations between national and European stakeholders.
- User Needs Analysis – Continually analysing local ecosystem requirements to align our technical support and HPC/AI resources.
- HPC Service Provision – Facilitating secure, high-performance computing power allocation for industrial and innovation projects.
- HPC Training Provision – Delivering professional/educational pathways to cultivate advanced technical expertise.
