The AI factory in Groningen, which combines a supercomputer for AI applications with an expertise center, is set to attract startups. Supported by Future Tech Ventures and over 120 companies via Samenwerking Noord, this initiative aims to provide essential computing power for AI ventures, reducing reliance on American data centers.
A €60 million investment from the Nij Begun region will facilitate the factory, with ambitions for 1,000 AI startups within ten years. Current examples of supported startups include SPCTR, which develops AI for tumor margin analysis, and ForensifAI, creating systems to verify video authenticity. The local digital sector is already strong, suggesting that growth can occur without waiting for the factory's completion.
