BSC AI Factory, powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing and the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer, has delivered over 800 services since launching in April 2025. Three Inception member startups were named AI Champions at a recent demo day: Qatium (water-network AI using NVIDIA cuGraph, PhysicsNeMo and Nemotron), OneCareAI (atrial fibrillation detection via NVIDIA NIM), and Avatia (pharma sales agents built on NIM, Nemotron 3 and NeMo Curator). Several other startups in the cohort work across agriculture, healthcare, security and packaging. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

It is a startup accelerator giving companies access to sovereign compute, technical support and training through BSC's AI Factory infrastructure, which is powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing and the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer. Launched in April 2025, it is among Europe's first AI factories and the first in Spain, having delivered more than 800 services to private and public-sector clients. _Founders evaluating sovereign AI compute options can follow programs like this one on daily.dev._ ### Which NVIDIA tools are being used by Barcelona Supercomputing Center accelerator startups? Startups in the cohort use NVIDIA cuGraph, PhysicsNeMo, Nemotron and Nemotron 3 open models, NIM microservices, and the open source NeMo Curator library. Qatium combines cuGraph and PhysicsNeMo with Nemotron for water-network intelligence, while OneCareAI and Avatia build on NIM microservices and Nemotron models for healthcare and pharmaceutical use cases. _Developers assembling an NVIDIA AI stack can track how these tools combine in production via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
