The European AI on Demand (AIoD ) platform has been comprehensively expanded and now offers a wider range of trusted AI resources, tools and services for research and business. As the central hub of the EU flagship initiative “AI Continent”, the platform pools distributed AI resources from the European ecosystem and makes them accessible via a unified digital infrastructure. Developed as part of the EU projects AI4Europe (€9 million, 2022-2025) and DeployAI (€28 million, 2024-2027), it strengthens Europe’s technological sovereignty as well as the trustworthiness, transparency and responsibility of AI applications.

AIoD pursues a two-pronged approach: for research, it provides over 500,000 AI assets such as data sets and tools that promote innovative, trustworthy AI development. Tools such as the metadata catalog, the AI catalog, the Research and Innovation AI Lab (RAIL) and the AI Builder support the entire research process. The platform also ensures technology transfer by making the results of publicly funded projects discoverable and reusable.

For business, the AIoD offers market-ready solutions, including the Business Navigator for contacting AI start-ups, an AI marketplace, low-code tools such as AI-Builder and AI-Runner, HPC-as-a-Service for model training and cloud environments for AI deployment. Companies, especially SMEs, benefit from access to generative AI solutions and European foundation models that reduce technical and regulatory hurdles.

The platform covers the entire AI innovation cycle: development through a vendor-neutral framework, training with European HPC resources and operation in a trusted hosting environment. Additional tools such as the EU AI Ecosystem Mapping Tool, the robotics repository Eurocore and the RoboCompass promote responsible innovation.

Coordinated by the University of Cork (AI4Europe) and Fraunhofer IAIS (DeployAI), the AIoD supports cooperation with institutions such as European Digital Innovation Hubs, AI factories and the GenAI4EU initiative. It promotes cross-sector synergies, accelerates innovation and strengthens Europe’s competitiveness in the global AI market.
