The initiative is based on agreements with the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, Munster Technological University, LuxProvide and ICHEC, Ireland’s national high performance computing centre.

The Kerry-based innovation nonprofit RDI Hub will aim to help Irish firms and public bodies move faster from AI experimentation to deployment through a new partnership initiative with organisations in Ireland and Luxembourg.

The ‘AI Gateway’ collaboration is based on agreements with the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), Munster Technological University (MTU), LuxProvide and ICHEC, Ireland’s national high performance computing centre.

The bodies will facilitate the building, testing and securing of AI systems and create a cross-border pathway linking Irish demand with Luxembourg’s ‘AI Factory’, sandbox and sovereign infrastructure capabilities, as well as providing opportunities for Irish research and cybersecurity expertise to contribute into that wider European ecosystem, RDI Hub said.
