Supercharge your Innovation with University of Plymouth Supercomputing
Tech South West has partnered with the University of Plymouth to offer tech companies across the UK a rare opportunity to access high‑performance computing through the University’s Lovelace supercomputing system.
In a world where AI, data and simulation are reshaping every sector, many organisations are held back by the limits of standard hardware. The Lovelace system opens the door to industrial‑grade compute power, enabling teams to train AI models faster, run complex simulations, process large datasets securely and test ideas at a scale that would otherwise be out of reach.
One organisation will be selected for a fully funded ten‑hour proof‑of‑concept project, working directly with HPC specialists and academic experts to explore how supercomputing could accelerate their work. The package includes a discovery session, a focused compute run and a clear set of recommendations for next steps.
A key part of this offer is accessibility. Every company that applies will receive a free one‑hour online consultation, with personalised guidance on how high‑performance computing could support their innovation, efficiency or product development.
The offer is open to companies anywhere, at any stage, working with data‑driven or compute‑heavy challenges.
