Supercomputer LUMI, Kajaani Finland. One of the fastest super computers in the Nordics, where AI is being developed by Nordic and EU countries in close cooperation.
AI Sweden, AI Finland, Digital Dogme, IKT Norge and Almannarómur stand behind the application of establishing a Nordic Baltic AI Center that has now received financial support from the Nordic Council of Ministers. The center will have staff in all participating countries. The work will be coordinated by a secretariat located in Sweden. The ambition is to also have the Baltic countries join.
The center will accelerate AI adoption and innovation across the region by acting as a cross-sectoral hub for governments, ecosystems, companies, and organizations. It will consolidate strategic leadership and expertise, offering capabilities needed by national actors.
The AI Center is elementary to reaching our Vision 2030 of becoming the most sustainable and integrated region in the world. Cross-border and cross-sector cooperation gives the Nordic region a unique opportunity to lead in responsible AI—enhancing our competitiveness while leveraging our influence within the broader European AI landscapesays
