Executive Vice-President Virkkunen in India for summit on artificial intelligence

UpdatedFebruary 17, 2026

Executive Vice-President Virkkunen in India for summit on artificial intelligence marsrgi Tue, 02/17/2026 - 12:47 From tomorrow to Friday, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, Henna Virkkunen, will represent the European Union at the AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi. Her visit highlights the EU’s commitment to strengthening its partnership with India and shaping global AI governance at a pivotal moment for Europe’s prosperity and security. As AI drives economic growth and geopolitical influence, the EU is advancing an approach that combines innovation, trust and international cooperation. Tomorrow, Executive Vice-President Virkkunen will join an industry roundtable on EU–India cooperation in AI skills and talent mobility, bringing together business associations and stakeholders from both sides. She will also deliver opening remarks at the launch of the European Legal Gateway Office pilot, alongside Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, who will intervene remotely. Announced by President Ursula von der Leyen at the 16th EU–India Summit, the initiative aims to connect European companies with India’s ICT talent base, in line with Member States’ needs. Wednesday, the Executive Vice-President will take part in the opening session hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and join the Leaders’ Plenary. She will hold meetings with partners including Canada, New Zealand and the United States, and engage with business leaders and the Federation of European Businesses in India to promote Europe’s tech investment offer. Friday, she will participate in a ministerial meeting and speak at EU sessions on the AI Code of Practice and AI innovation. She will also meet with key partners, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Morocco, as well as with India’s Minister of Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, to advance the EU–India trade and technology collaboration. Throughout her visit, Executive Vice-President Virkkunen will underline Europe’s strengths — a large single market, strong industrial base and stable democratic framework — and emphasise the EU’s ambition to accelerate AI deployment, scale innovation and work with trusted partners such as India to ensure AI remains human-centric, secure and aligned with democratic values.

Large-Scale Pilots of AI and GenAI for Medical Imaging

UpdatedFebruary 16, 2026

Large-Scale Pilots of AI and GenAI for Medical Imaging Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 02/16/2026 - 09:04 Opening: 21 April 2026 Closing: 01 October 2026 Commission launches call for proposals to fund large-scale pilots deploying AI in real-world clinical imaging. The Commission will soon open a call for proposals under the Digital Europe Programme to support 2 large-scale pilots of cloud-based artificial intelligence systems for medical imaging, for a total of EUR 9 million in EU funding. The call will open on 21 April 2026 and close on 1 October 2026. The pilots will focus on healthcare settings where AI can assist the analysis of imaging data - including MRI, CT, X-ray, PET and ultrasound - by flagging findings for review by qualified medical professionals. The pilots aim to: improve efficiency in detection and diagnostic workflows support prioritisation of critical cases reduce pressure on radiology services contribute to more equitable access to screening services, including in underserved regions Medical centres participating in the pilots will also join the European Network of AI-Powered Advanced Screening Centres, ensuring that practical experience informs the wider European community. Results will be shared through Network events, enabling peer learning and the dissemination of good practice. The pilots will build on existing European infrastructures, including Cancer Image Europe and HealthData@EU, to strengthen collaboration and accelerate the adoption of AI in healthcare across Europe. Access the Funding & Tenders Portal for more information and to apply to the call for proposals.

Turning strategy into action: Commission launches Frontier AI Grand Challenge

UpdatedFebruary 13, 2026

Turning strategy into action: Commission launches Frontier AI Grand Challenge Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 02/13/2026 - 09:25 Opening: 13 February 2026 Closing: 13 April 2026 The Frontier AI Grand Challenge will fund 1 project to train a frontier AI model with the aim of advancing European AI. As part of the Apply AI Strategy, the Commission, together with the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), has launched the Frontier AI Grand Challenge, a flagship EU-wide competition to drive the development of sovereign, large-scale European AI models. The initiative aims to close the strategic gap in high-end AI by supporting the creation of “frontier” general-purpose AI systems capable of adapting across domains with minimal modification, and by leveraging Europe’s world-class supercomputing infrastructure. The challenge invites leading European actors to develop frontier AI models with a computational capacity equivalent to at least 400 billion parameters. By using efficient, modular architectures like Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), these models are expected to set new benchmarks for performance and efficiency. This initiative complements wider EU efforts to make Europe the AI continent, as set out in the AI Continent Action Plan, and to strengthen Europe’s AI startup and scale-up ecosystem, ensuring that the most promising innovators have access to the infrastructure needed to compete globally. Implemented under the EU-funded AI-BOOST project, the Frontier AI Grand Challenge will select one proposal to train a frontier AI model designed to outperform state-of-the-art systems on a range of relevant tasks, using EuroHPC computing resources. The selected project will receive up to 2.5% of the overall EuroHPC computing capacity for one year on one or more AI-optimised EuroHPC supercomputers. The Frontier AI Grand Challenge is expected to deliver open models that will be made widely available to public authorities, scientific communities and businesses across Europe, supporting innovation in key ApplyAI sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare and autonomous systems. By combining world-class EuroHPC capacity with Europe’s leading AI talent, the initiative will reinforce the EU’s position in global AI competition and foster a vibrant, trustworthy and human-centric AI ecosystem “Made in Europe”.
