About the morning

What to expect

The launch marks the official start of Ireland's AI Factory Antenna - our national gateway to the European AI Factories network under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking.

The morning will introduce the programme, its services and the consortium delivering it, and look ahead to the AI-optimised supercomputing infrastructure coming to Ireland. Minister James Lawless TD will officially open proceedings.

It's an opportunity for startups, SMEs, the public sector, researchers and partners to learn how to get involved.
