The horizon of European innovation is expanding. Today, the AI-on-Demand Platform (AIoD), steered by the DeployAI project, officially opens its doors to the private sector. This isn’t just a funding opportunity; it is an invitation for companies and research organisations to anchor their most ambitious AI solutions within Europe’s premier digital ecosystem.
A partnership for progress: The role of F6S
Navigating the journey from innovation to market-readiness requires a steady hand. As a foundational partner in the European AI landscape, F6S is managing the delivery of these Open Calls. By leveraging the global reach of the F6S platform, we ensure that the application process is seamless, connecting visionary innovators with the exact resources, mentors, and networks they need to scale across borders.
Bridging the gap between innovation and adoption
The mission is clear: to accelerate the uptake of trustworthy AI by connecting those who build the technology with those ready to put it to work. Selected participants won’t just receive funding; they will integrate their tools into the AIoD central hub, gaining access to a pan-European marketplace of datasets, services, and expertise.
Who is eligible to lead this transition?
- AI Providers: SMEs and research organisations established in EU Member States or countries associated with the Digital Europe Programme (DEP).
- Market readiness: We are looking for solutions that are ready for the world—specifically those at Technology Readiness Level 7 (TRL 7) or higher.
A structured path to success
From September 2026 to April 2027, selected participants will embark on a three-stage journey designed to refine, integrate, and deploy:
- Stage 1 (Pitch & Select): Up to 50 providers will receive €5,000 to sharpen their business plans and showcase their vision at a premier European pitching event.
- Stage 2 (Integration): 20 AI Providers will move forward with €35,000 in support and dedicated technical mentoring to weave their solutions into the AIoD platform core.
- Stage 3 (Deployment): The journey culminates in 10 powerful consortia. Here, an AI Provider and an AI Adopter team up to prove their solution’s value in the real world. Providers can receive up to €20,000, while Adopters receive €15,000 to facilitate the implementation.
