The programme covered the breadth of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking ecosystem: access to European supercomputing and quantum systems, scientific and industrial use cases, training and skills development, AI and European Large Language Models, and much more.

AI Factory Austria AI:AT was represented in the exhibition area alongside other European AI Factories and Antennas. The team had the opportunity to exchange directly with attendees on their needs and how AI:AT addresses them through services around infrastructure access and expert support. The discussions were valuable for both sides and are likely to evolve into strong collaborations.

The intersection of AI and HPC was a central theme throughout the conversations. Increasingly demanding AI workloads require substantial computing resources, while HPC infrastructures are adapting to support AI applications.

European cooperation was another key focus. Discussions on federation and hyperconnectivity addressed how computing resources across Europe can be designed more effectively.

The EuroHPC User Days 2026 were yet another indication that the future of computing in Europe is being built as a connected ecosystem – and are were happy to be part of this network, contributing to bringing together cutting-edge infrastructure, know-how and stakeholders, and strengthening access to European computing resources and expertise.
