HPC in NRW
What could your business do with access to powerful computers and AI cloud services? What could you build or achieve that was previously too expensive, too time-consuming, or simply out of reach?
Computing power. What can your business do with it?
This evening gives business owners and leaders in business and government a clear picture of the computing resources available today and what's being built next. We start with North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), then look at developments across Germany and Europe where they offer relevant options.
We'll explore what these resources can be used for, how businesses can access them, and what it takes to turn computing power into real business value. Concrete examples will show what's possible and how to get started.
These are starting points for a conversation. We'll work with contributors to choose the focus, order, and depth of the discussion.
What's available, and what's coming?
From JUPITER in Jülich to AI and cloud services: What options exist, what's planned, and how do they differ?
We'd also like to cover Delos Cloud, STACKIT, Telekom's AI cloud, and Mistral's data center plans. These are topics we'd like to explore, not confirmed speakers or partners.
What can businesses do with it?
Which projects benefit from this kind of computing power?
Real examples can show what businesses can achieve, where the biggest gains may lie, and what it takes to make them happen.
How do you get started?
How does a business find and access the right computing resources?
What support is available, what expertise does it need, and what costs and conditions should it expect?
What's being built next — and why?
How is the infrastructure developing, what are the goals, and what new applications could it enable?
We'd like someone with direct responsibility for these issues at the relevant state ministry to explain the plans and how they fit together.
Keynote, panel and your questions
Expert perspectives and a panel discussion are planned, with time for audience questions. Contributors and the detailed schedule are being coordinated. Arrivals and networking from 6 p.m.; the programme ends at 9 p.m.
Who is it for?
Business owners and leaders in business and government who want to understand what these resources could offer their organizations. Alongside them: people who plan or run computing infrastructure, help businesses access it, or can share experience from real projects, as well as ministry staff who work directly on these issues.
