The second FFplus Open Call is open until 26.08.2025 and is specifically aimed at supporting companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in the use of high-performance computing (HPC) resources to solve specific business challenges. This funding opportunity represents a significant chance to digitize business processes, develop innovative products and services and achieve competitive advantages. More than 120 European companies have already successfully transformed their business models through the use of HPC and AI technologies. The call is aimed at European companies and Horizon Europe-eligible organizations that have no previous experience with high-performance computing. Funding of up to €200,000 can be applied for, requiring a partnership of one SME and 1-3 supporting partners (e.g. research institutions or other SMEs). This initiative represents a significant growth opportunity for companies in our network. An online webinar can also be organized on request to provide interested companies with in-depth advice and further insights into the application process. Detailed information on the call and further resources are available here: https://www.ffplus-project.eu/en/news-and-events/news/ffplus-webinars-highlighted-opportunities-in-ffplus-open-call-for-business-experiments/.
