How it works

From idea to supercomputer, in 4 steps

NCC Albania is your single point of contact to benefit from the computing power of European supercomputers. Whether you are an SME, start-up, researcher or public institution, we guide you step by step, at no cost, from the first idea to deployment on EuroHPC infrastructure.

Get in touch

Write to us or fill in the form and tell us about your challenge, project or idea. The first consultation is completely free and with no obligation. We help you understand whether HPC, data analytics or AI can add value to your work.

Needs analysis

Our experts assess your specific use case, technical requirements and the results you want to achieve. We define the service level that fits you, from basic awareness (Level 1) to specialised technical support (Level 2).

Support and training

We provide technical consulting, tailored training, code optimization and parallelization, as well as Proof-of-Concept development to prove the value of your solution. We also prepare you to apply for access to the European EuroHPC systems.

Access and scale

We connect you to the supercomputers and resources of the EuroHPC network to scale your solution from prototype to production. We stay by your side even after access, referring you as needed to European centres of excellence and AI Factories.
