The arrival of an AI factory in Groningen has recently been officially confirmed! Congratulations to everyone who has worked hard to make this unique facility a reality. Niemeyer is the intended location for the centre of expertise, while another location in Groningen is being sought for the supercomputer. This is a wonderful development for the region and a great step forward for the partners and community of Campus Groningen!
The arrival of an AI factory in Groningen has been officially confirmed! Congratulations to the consortium and financiers who have worked hard to make this unique facility a reality.
The European Union is investing more than 71 million euros in the project, which means that the financing is now complete. Together with contributions from the Dutch government and the Nij Begun Economic Agenda, the total investment amounts to around 200 million euros. The investment will be used to build a supercomputer and set up a centre of expertise for artificial intelligence. The intended location for the AI factory's centre of expertise is Niemeyer, a development by MWPO in collaboration with Campus Groningen. This will give the northern Netherlands a unique place where knowledge, technology and entrepreneurship come together to shape the future of AI. Niemeyer is the intended location for the centre of expertise, while another location in Groningen is being sought for the supercomputer.
Collaboration
The AI Factory will be a collaboration between education, research, government and industry, with the aim of developing AI applications that contribute to social and economic progress. Niemeyer fits in seamlessly with this vision: together we are creating a place where collaboration on the digital future is central.

The Campus Trail at Campus Groningen is once again generating a lot of enthusiasm. So far, 500 participants have already registered for the seventh edition of the running event, which will take place on Friday, September 11.
It all started fourteen years ago with an idea in a laboratory on the Zernike Campus in Groningen. The financing has now been secured, and BioBTX can build a factory in Delfzijl.
UMCG is continuing the development of the new Central Laboratory for Diagnostics and Research (CLDR). Over the coming period, the preliminary design will be further developed into a final design, bringing the realization of the new laboratory building another step closer.
