NCC Montenegro Featured in Glasnik of the Chamber of Commerce of Montenegro

The NCC Montenegro has been presented in the September 2025 edition of Glasnik, the official publication of the Chamber of Commerce of Montenegro.

The article highlights the NCC’s role in strengthening national capacities in HPC/HPDA/AI technologies, providing training, support and access to supercomputing resources for companies, academic institutions and public institutions. Glasnik emphasises why HPC and AI matter for Montenegro: faster data processing, running complex simulations, development of AI models, and accelerated innovation and product development. It describes how NCC supports SMEs and startups by enabling them to test ideas, train models, and develop new digital products without investing in costly infrastructure. Glasnik also notes practical examples of HPC use in Montenegro—financial modelling, weather prediction, smart agriculture, precise medicine and tourism 4.0. The article encourages companies to explore HPC/AI opportunities, NCC support and European supercomputing resources to enhance innovative capacities and international competitiveness.

The AI Factories Portal is LIVE!
The brand new AI Factories Portal is now open! Explore each selected AI Factory, see what services they offer, and discover how they will help startups, researchers, and innovators across Europe [link].

New Call for AI Factory Antennas
The new call aims to expand the AI Factories network. These local hubs will extend the reach of AI Factories, providing support, services, and access to EuroHPC systems across Europe. The AI Factory Antennas will closely cooperate with selected AI Factories to strengthen the European AI ecosystem [link].

Public Consultation on AI GigaFactories
Stakeholders are invited to help shape the future of hashtag#AIinEurope by expressing interest in the next-generation AI GigaFactories!
These will enable training and deployment of massive AI models using next-level computing & data infrastructure [link].

Updated EuroHPC JU Access Policy
The EuroHPC JU access policy has just been updated to include new access modes!
Researchers, startups, and public actors are now able to select several types of access modes to all operational EuroHPC supercomputers and hashtag#AIFactories. These steps are part of the EU’s mission to ensure security by enabling trustworthy Al systems.

EuroCC2/EuroCC4SEE project presented at Research Day 2025 @ UDG

The 13th Research Day, held on April 4, 2025, at the University of Donja Gorica (UDG), once again brought together a vibrant community of researchers, students, and professionals committed to advancing knowledge, innovation, and research.

Organized in collaboration with the Statistical Office of Montenegro – MONSTAT and the Public Opinion Research Agency – DAMAR, the event served as a dynamic platform for sharing ongoing projects and research initiatives. This year’s focus was placed on the strategic use of statistical data, interdisciplinary research approaches, digital tools and data-driven decision-making. The MONSTAT presented in-depth socio-economic analyses based on the latest Census results in Montenegro, while the DAMAR-LAB initiative showcased advanced neuromarketing research potential, using eye-tracking technologies.

Among UDG’s flagship research projects, the EUROCC2/EuroCC4SEE was featured, demonstrating the increasing relevance of HPC and AI technologies for predictive analytics, complex simulations and scenario modelling. A representative of NCC Montenegro highlighted the growing capabilities in HPC/AI-driven research excellence, industry applications, training opportunities, and key findings from the HPC4SME market study.

Events like this strengthen collaboration between academia, industry, and public institutions, laying the foundation for smarter and sustainable ecosystem of research, development, and innovation.

Workshop: Artificial Intelligence and Media Literacy

The University of Donja Gorica, in cooperation with EU House and Young European Ambassadors, is organizing a workshop and panel discussion on the topic “Artificial Intelligence and Media Literacy”. The event will be moderated by Igor Culafić, assistant at the UDG, master student in the “Artificial Intelligence” program and Young European Ambassador.

The workshop will demonstrate practical examples of using AI and HPC tools for creative and productive purposes, the presence of disinformation on the internet, how AI affects disinformation and how to recognize it. The presentation will take place on March 27 at 9:45 am, in the amphitheather A4 the University of Donja Gorica.

We invite students and all interested parties to attend this event and take the opportunity to develop practical skills in a critical approach to AI/HPC tools and become active participants in creating an ethical framework for the use of new technologies!

Montenegrin media promoting Supercomputing and AI opportunities for SMEs and Startups

NCC Montenegro is highlighting ongoing FFplus Open Calls to empower SMEs and Startups to develop innovative products and services with the support of HPC and AI.

European SMEs and Startups have the opportunity to shift their innovation potential through the two types of FFplus Open Calls (total budget €24.0 million):

Business experiments addressing the uptake of HPC for specific business challenges of SMEs that have had no prior use of HPC services. The maximum funding request per proposal is € 200,000.

Innovation studies, supporting SMEs and startups already active in the field of generative AI technology, which lack the necessary computational resources to scale up. The maximum funding for each innovation study is € 300,000.

Application deadline: September 4th, 2024!
