Developing and testing artificial intelligence solutions requires computing resources and technical expertise that not all companies have at their disposal. The services offered by the European BSC AI Factory project to address these needs were presented by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest at GoTech World 2026, held on 10–11 November at Romexpo.
At the ICI Bucharest stand, visitors had the opportunity to learn how they can benefit from BSC AI Factory services, which provide startups, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and public institutions with access to resources for developing and using artificial intelligence.
Through BSC AI Factory, organisations can access supercomputing infrastructure that supports complex tasks such as training and testing AI models. The project also provides technical assistance, data and software services, and training programmes, including for organisations that lack in-house AI expertise.
The event also provided an opportunity to present how interested organisations can access these services, as well as the incubation programmes available to startups, including through the Bucharest hub. Services are available free of charge to startups, SMEs, and public sector entities, subject to the project's eligibility criteria.
Marking its 15th anniversary edition, GoTech World featured 12 thematic stages covering areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital transformation, alongside an exhibition area with more than 100 exhibitors.
ICI Bucharest's participation in GoTech World 2026 was part of its efforts to raise awareness of BSC AI Factory services in Romania and inform organisations interested in developing or adopting AI-based solutions about the opportunities available through the project.

How can virtual and augmented reality technologies help people prepare for emergencies, improve interactions with public services, or create new ways of learning? These were among the applications presented by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest at the “1st Regional Workshop to Strengthen the Central, Eastern European and Balkan Virtual Worlds Ecosystem”, held in Budapest, Hungary.
How can Europe prepare for the security challenges of the coming years, amid geopolitical instability, hybrid threats, and the rapid development of new technologies? These questions were at the heart of the conference “Towards Europe 2040: How Can We Anticipate Change and Build a Secure and Resilient Future?”, held in Bucharest on 9 November 2026 at the European Parliament Liaison Office in Romania.
