FFPlus Open Call for business

The second FFPlus Open Call for business experiments is now open. Submission deadline is August 26th, 2025. Learn more about the Open Call here.

During the project’s lifetime, SMEs and Start-ups will be supported through six open calls to fund business experiments (Type 1) and innovation studies (Type 2).

Business experiments will address the uptake of HPC by SMEs in order to solve specific business challenges of SMEs that have had no prior use of, or experience with, HPC services.

Innovation studies, in contrast, will support European SMEs and Start-ups already active in the field of generative AI technology, which lack the necessary computational resources to scale up.
