The call is part of the GenAI4EU initiative which seeks to support the development and deployment of generative AI solutions in strategic sectors including the three priority sectors for this call telecom, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals. GenAI4EU is therefore key to transform the overarching EU goals of greater competitiveness and growth as well as being a global leader in AI into concrete use case applications.
The challenge-driven GenAI4EU booster will have play an important role in the larger initiative. It foresees the creation of consortia comprised of organisations capable of organising large challenges and sector-specific companies or research & technology organisations. These consortia will launch and manage a 3-stage challenge to develop impactful use cases for generative AI in one of the three sectors chosen for this call: aerospace, pharmaceutical and telecommunications. The best GenAI developers will be invited to join the consortium and compete in the grand finale. After the challenge, the consortia will work to maximise the impact of the winning solutions.
The call will open on 10 June and close on 2 October. Three projects are envisaged to receive € 15 million each.
The infoday is an opportunity for interested stakeholders – such as researchers, industrial companies, but also GenAI developers such as start-ups and SMEs that will compete in the challenges – to learn more about the call, to pitch their ideas and to network.
