High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI

For many organizations, the question is no longer whether to use large-scale data processing and artificial intelligence, but how. Where can they access the computing capacity required to train and deploy advanced AI models? How can they scale up from pilot projects to production environments? And how can they do this securely—leveraging European infrastructure—without having to invest in and maintain their own supercomputing resources? As AI models continue to grow in size and complexity, access to both computing power and specialized expertise is becoming a critical factor for innovation, competitiveness, and digital capability.

RISE helps startups, small and medium-sized enterprises, large corporations, and public organizations gain access to world-class computing infrastructure in Europe, along with the expertise required to utilize it. As Sweden’s state-owned research institute, we provide independent expertise, technical guidance, applied research, and collaboration opportunities that help organizations explore, adopt, and scale solutions in HPC and AI. Whether you are evaluating new opportunities, developing new services, training advanced AI models, or scaling up compute-intensive workflows, our experts can support you throughout the entire journey.

HPC and AI can help organizations:

• Accelerate research, development, and innovation through large-scale simulations, modeling, and AI-driven analysis.
• Train, fine-tune, and deploy advanced AI models using European supercomputing infrastructure.
• Scale up data- and compute-intensive applications from experimental projects to operational use.
• Develop innovative products, services, and digital capabilities supported by AI and advanced computing.
• Strengthen digital sovereignty through the use of secure European computing resources.
• Access expertise in HPC, AI, and scientific computing without the need to build your own specialist teams.

Sweden AI Factory

A core part of our operations is the Sweden AI Factory—one of the AI ​​factories established within the framework of the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU). Operated by RISE and NAISS, the Sweden AI Factory strengthens the integration between artificial intelligence and high-performance computing to foster scientific excellence, industrial innovation, and digital transformation in Europe.

Through Sweden AI Factory, we help organizations gain access to advanced computational resources, AI expertise, mentorship, training, and support for developing and scaling AI applications on EuroHPC supercomputers. Key focus areas include gaming, autonomous systems, life science, and materials science.

Scientific Computing and Applied AI

Our team applies advanced computational methods across a wide range of fields, building bridges between research and practical application. We support organizations in selecting the right computational methods, scaling complex workloads, integrating AI into existing processes, and translating research findings into concrete, usable solutions.

European cooperation and ecosystem development

We work closely with national and European stakeholders, including NAISS, Vinnova, European AI factories, Centres of Excellence, National Competence Centres, and the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. Through research projects, workshops, conferences, and various societal and collaborative initiatives, we contribute to strengthening Europe’s HPC and AI ecosystem and promote the exchange of knowledge across national borders.
