BSC accelerator expands startup access to sovereign compute in Spain

Barcelona Supercomputing Center’s AI Factory Accelerator Programme is now fully operating, with startup access, training and compute support.

Spain’s Barcelona Supercomputing Center is expanding its role in the country’s startup ecosystem as its AI Factory Accelerator Programme moves into full operation after a pilot phase, giving selected companies access to sovereign compute, technical support and training, according to NVIDIA’s Oct. 20, 2026 report and verified BSC and ministry materials. The programme now sits alongside NVIDIA Inception, with some BSC AI Factory services available through the Inception portal, as the two initiatives combine compute access with training, mentoring and startup resources.

NVIDIA said the AI Factory Accelerator Programme is now in full operation following a pilot initiative and that many participating companies are also members of NVIDIA Inception. The company said Inception complements the BSC programme with NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute open courses, business mentoring, venture capital connections and other resources. NVIDIA also said an upcoming extension of MareNostrum 5, BSC’s public infrastructure for scientific and technological innovation, will provide supercomputing access through the BSC AI Factory and other AI Factories across Europe.

BSC AI Factory is among Europe’s first AI factories and the first in Spain, and BSC says it has delivered more than 800 services to private- and public-sector clients since launching in April 2025. The broader nationwide accelerator is distinct from the earlier Barcelona pilot announced on May 22, 2026, when BSC AI Factory selected 15 AI startups for its pilot initiative, according to BSC.

NVIDIA highlighted three Inception members named AI Champions at the pilot initiative’s demo day.
