News & Announcements

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a strategic component of Europe’s digital, economic, and technological development. Recognizing that advanced AI requires substantial computing infrastructure, data, talent, and cooperation, the European Union has established the AI Factories initiative as part of its broader strategy to build a competitive and sovereign European AI ecosystem.

Europe’s AI ecosystem is evolving through interconnected initiatives linking research, industry, innovation support and advanced computing infrastructure. These efforts are increasingly focused on strengthening the entire AI value chain—from fundamental research and talent development to the deployment and commercialization of AI solutions. European research institutions, technology companies, startups and public-sector organizations are building closer partnerships, while innovation hubs and funding programs help translate scientific advances into market-ready applications.

Agentic AI refers to Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems designed to function as autonomous or semi-autonomous agents. Such systems can understand high-level goals, decompose them into actionable tasks, and execute these tasks with minimal human intervention.

We're pleased to announce the first industry-specific event entitled Building the Future of Health: Experiences with Applied AI.

Join us to connect with the Serbian AI Factory Antenna community, exchange insights, and explore the latest developments in AI infrastructure and innovation.

The Serbian Artificial Intelligence Factory Antenna is excited to launch SAIFA Talks, a new webinar series that explores emerging technologies, innovative applications, and the latest advances in artificial intelligence. 

The series aims to bring together researchers, industry professionals, technology developers, and AI enthusiasts to exchange knowledge, share practical experience, and explore opportunities for collaboration across the Serbian and European AI ecosystems.

The SAIFA Consortium is glad to announce its participation in the DeepTech & Innovation Online School organized by the  A-SIDE project, which aims at enhancing the quality and competitiveness of European higher education, as part of the EIT HEI Initiative programme.

The Serbia’s artificial intelligence (AI) landscape is evolving rapidly. It is being shaped by parallel advances in digitalisation, innovation, industrial adoption and emerging regulatory frameworks. In recent years, the country has invested in modernising public services, strengthening its research and innovation capacity, and supporting the growth of high-tech companies and start-ups.

We are glad to announce the delivery of the Design of the AI Gateway document as part of the activities of SAIFA work package 3 entitled SAIFA Integrated HPC and AI runtime environment. 

On 11 and 12 June 2026, the Institute of Physics Belgrade organized and hosted the memorial conference In Memory of Antun Balaž – Insights into Complex Systems, dedicated to the memory of Dr.

The Belgrade Bioinformatics Conference (BelBi 2026) is an annual international conference organized by several Serbian institutions, led by the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering (IMGGE), University of Belgrade, as the main organizer.
