Challenge-Driven GenAI4EU Booster

The Challenge-Driven GenAI4EU Booster is a funding call under the Horizon Europe framework focused on advancing Generative AI (GenAI) in strategic sectors such as aerospace and pharma/drug development. This initiative supports innovative projects to boost Europe’s GenAI developer community and foster the adoption of trustworthy GenAI solutions, enhancing competitiveness in these key sectors.

The call employs a challenge-driven approach, encouraging collaboration between user industries, AI developers, and research entities to define and address impactful use cases. Proposals will focus on pre-competitive solutions, with a staged process for development. Third-party participants, including SMEs and startups, will compete in progressive phases with increasing complexity. At the first stage, 20 participants will receive funding to prepare for subsequent phases. In the final stages, selected participants will collaborate with the consortium for further funding and an opportunity to establish contracts or partnerships with the industry.

The core consortium will design the methodology, define call specifications, and oversee evaluation criteria, dissemination, and infrastructure support. Emphasis is placed on fostering visibility, attracting sponsorships, and supporting participants throughout the project. Collaboration with related initiatives and integration with the AI-on-Demand platform is also required.

This action aims to showcase the potential of GenAI in achieving transformative impacts, driving technological advancements, and setting new benchmarks in aerospace and pharma sectors.
