Private companies can currently access HPC services through the Slovak European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) framework.
Companies do not pay directly for access to HPC resources. Instead, the value of the service is deducted from the amount of state aid available to them under the applicable funding scheme.
The services are fully funded through the EDIH programme:
- 50% funded by the European Commission
- 50% funded through the Slovak Recovery and Resilience Plan under the de minimis aid scheme
Eligibility
The service is available to organisations that meet the following criteria:
- Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), small mid-cap companies employing between 0 and 499 employees, or public sector organisations.
- The organisation has not exceeded the de minimis aid limit of EUR 300,000 during the three years preceding the date of support.
- The organisation has no outstanding liabilities towards state authorities, the Social Insurance Agency, or health insurance providers.
To determine eligibility, we recommend registering with one of the following European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs), of which we are a partner and provider of HPC services.
