2025-06-30 Digital, Industry & Space Horizon Europe Digital Europe AI ContinentThe Commission unveiled new features for artificial intelligence (AI) researchers and industry on itsAI-on-Demand platform, including an AI marketplace, an AI development tool that requires minimal coding, as well as secure solutions for generative AI and large language models. The platform, developed jointly by the EU-funded projects AI4Europe and DeployAI, offers trustworthy AI tools and solutions to both researchers and industry. Innovators will find a researcher-focused suite of datasets, tools, and computing resources. SMEs, businesses and public sector organisations will be able to access trusted tools, resources and ready-to-use AI modules tailored for industry needs. The central access point to a common AI toolbox, is meant to boost the European Union's capabilities, as set out in the AI Continent Action Plan. The Commission invites AI developers to register their tools and solutions, gaining visibility across a growing network of AI innovators, as well as direct exposure to enterprises seeking ready-to-deploy AI solutions. By compiling trusted AI resources, the platform will accelerate secure and scalable AI adoption across European industries and the public sector.
