"The AI Coworking Hub at SOLARIS brings together people, expertise, and infrastructure. Our goal is to translate scientific excellence into successful AI applications, economic value, and tangible benefits for society. Because if Austria wants to play an active role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence, it needs strong ecosystems—and spaces where innovation can be created collaboratively."

"EuroHPC systems are making high-performance computing accessible to a much broader range of users, including SMEs, start-ups, industry, and public administration. At AI Factory Austria, our goal is to provide access with as few barriers as possible and to support organisations in putting these resources to practical use. At the same time, we are laying the foundations for Austria to support the entire AI lifecycle on modern infrastructure in the future, while meeting high standards for data sovereignty and security."

"With the AI Factory Austria, we are creating a structured bridge between scientific excellence and effective application. It is crucial that we not only research AI, but also make it scalable under real conditions, with sovereign infrastructure, technical expertise and a strong network of research, industry and public administration. This is precisely the strategic strength of AI:AT for Austria and for the European context"

"For TU Wien, AI:AT is a key enabler for strengthening the connection between cutting-edge research, technological development, and industrial application. AI Factory Austria provides a framework in which advanced AI solutions are not developed in isolation, but brought into practice together with the right partners and supported by high-performance infrastructure. This creates lasting value for Austria as a centre of innovation."

“AI:AT is another excellent project that strengthens the innovative power of TU Wien. Our expertise in the Cluster of Excellence” Bilateral AI “shows that we play a leading role in AI research both nationally and internationally - knowledge that we will also put to good use in the AI Factory Austria.”

"The AI Factory Austria shows how important the close connection between research, qualification and application is for the future of AI. From the point of view of the University of Vienna, it is particularly relevant that AI:AT combines scientific expertise with concrete implementation formats and thus creates a reliable framework for the responsible, effective use of AI. This creates added value for science, business and public institutions alike"

"In addition, the AI Factory Austria will provide state-of-the-art infrastructure and pool expertise, thus strengthening the AI landscape in Austria and beyond. It is an interactive platform that connects research and business, ranging from start-up businesses to the industry, thus promoting the transfer of knowledge and technology."
