HPC Call4Innovators: Eni’s supercomputer for companies and research
Eni is making the computing power of HPC6 available to drive the development of innovative computational methodologies applied to the energy transition. Through the HPC Call4Innovators programme, startups, SMEs, academic institutions and research centres will be able to use Europe’s most powerful supercomputer to test their models and collaborate with Eni’s experts, accelerating the development of decarbonisation technologies.
The HPC Call4Innovators programme is designed by Eni in collaboration with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and the University Consortium CINECA, with the support of Plug and Play. The aim is to identify new computing solutions to accelerate the energy sector’s process towards decarbonisation and technological innovation.
Participants in the Call can submit their projects across five strategic focus areas. The selected winners will gain access to a world-class technological infrastructure and Eni’s network of specialised expertise. This opportunity will enable them to optimise development time and costs, test solutions in an advanced industrial computing environment, and fast-track their entry and growth in the market.
The Call is open to startups, scaleups, universities, research centres, innovative SMEs, public/private joint laboratories and independent professionals. Applicants are invited to submit an innovative simulation or modelling project using an HPC environment, within one of the five strategic focus areas:
Development of advanced new materials, biomaterials and innovative catalyst.
Improving climate prediction models and environmental impact analysis.
Energy resources and portfolio management optimization.
Enhancing the design and operation of energy plants and infrastructure.
Designing advanced solutions for routing, demand optimisation and sustainable mobility management.
The Call4Innovators dedicated to supercomputing closed on 21 September 2025.
The evaluation process, carried out by Eni together with its partners on proposals submitted from twenty countries, selected ten winning projects across the five strategic focus areas, which will gain access to the computational resources of Eni’s HPC6 supercomputer.
In recent years, digital technologies such as high-performance scientific computing and Artificial Intelligence have revolutionised both research and industry. Supercomputing, in particular, has become a strategic asset in a rapidly growing market. For Eni, the HPC6 supercomputer is a key technology enabler for the development of new solutions for the energy transition. At the same time, it represents a valuable asset for supporting excellence in the HPC field and fostering collaboration on high-impact strategic topics.
An immersive and interactive journey to discover Eni’s Green Data Centre and the world of supercomputing.
