21 JUN 2024 · In the tenth episode of the HPC Podcast powered by EXCELLERAT, we speak with Dr. Guy Lonsdale, CEO of scapos, about the FFplus project. This initiative aims to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by providing access to high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on sectors like manufacturing and engineering. Guy discusses the main challenges SMEs face in adopting these technologies and how FFplus works to overcome them. We also explore how the project engages new HPC users, promotes business benefits, and builds on the successes of previous Fortissimo projects. Tune in to learn about the open calls for business experiments and innovation studies, and the potential impact on European SMEs.
