The Ministry of the Economy and the National Research Fund (FNR), together with Luxinnovation, are launching a new joint call for projects in the fields of high-performance computing (HPC) and/or artificial intelligence (AI). This initiative aims to support companies and public research institutions working on projects in these domains. Deadline for Phase 1 is 18 June 2025, deadline for Phase 2 is 17 September 2025.
The goal is to accelerate the adoption of AI and/or HPC within Luxembourg’s ecosystem.
This call for projects primarily targets private-sector stakeholders with strong R&D capabilities but limited in-house experience in artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). By encouraging collaborations between public research and industry, the objective of the call is to support these companies in exploring, adopting, and integrating cutting-edge AI and HPC technologies into their operations, thereby accelerating innovation and boosting long-term competitiveness.
It is also a strategic priority of the FNR to turn public research into a competitive advantage for Luxembourg and to give researchers the opportunity to pursue high-impact research strategies while working with the most innovative private actors. The aim is to raise general awareness of the use of AI and HPC in companies’ R&D activities and to support a sustainable evolution towards a relevant and well-developed ecosystem.
The development of disruptive innovations along with the broader adoption of digital technologies and the fostering of a collaborative ecosystem, supporting technology and knowledge transfer among private and public actors, are key priorities of the government’s strategy to accelerate digital sovereignty. AI and HPC are the technological backbone of the national ambitions.
This joint call for projects will be accompanied by a dedicated portfolio of aid schemes offered by the Ministry of the Economy, which takes into account the varying levels of AI and HPC expertise among private actors.
