On June 24, 2025, the European Commission announced the launch of new AI tools on the AI-on-Demand platform (AIoDP), marking a decisive turning point in the European artificial intelligence strategy. As officially communicated by the Commission, this platform evolution includes an AI marketplace, minimal coding development tools, and secure solutions for
generative AI. It represents the operational core of the ambitious AI Continent Plan and promises to radically transform access to AI technologies for researchers, SMEs, and the public sector.
The Beating Heart of European AI Innovation
The new AIoDP platform accelerates AI adoption by connecting Europe's research, industry, and Digital Innovation Hubs. The renewed portal offers revolutionary features that make AI accessible to everyone:
Simplified Access to Datasets and AI Models: The release has improved accessibility to datasets and AI models from multiple
platforms, providing SDKs and open APIs to build services. Users can now explore, test, and create with intuitive AI tools designed to support research, easily integrating resources without changing how they work.
Trustworthy AI Marketplace: The platform serves as a comprehensive catalog and marketplace for trustworthy AI, offering responsible resources and tools to promote the use and transfer of European AI solutions. This ecosystem targets SMEs and public sector entities wishing to implement AI and AI developers, consultants, AI managers, and other experts from European industry and the public sector.
Advanced Tools Without Coding: The platform offers tools to simplify advanced AI functions using multilingual Teuken-7B models. Users can retrieve documents, summarize content, and generate automated letters without programming knowledge.
DeployAI: The €28 Million Flagship Project
The DeployAI project, backed by €28 million in funding from the European Commission, guarantees the platform's success. It represents a collaborative effort to shape the future of AI deployment in Europe.
DeployAI's commitment extends to integrating the AI-on-demand platform into the European AI ecosystem, fostering collaboration with entities such as European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs), Testing and Experimentation Facilities for AI (TEFs), Data Spaces, EuroHPC centers, and HPC/Cloud/Edge infrastructures.
Concrete Applications and Tangible Results
The platform is already demonstrating its value through concrete projects:
The hands-on AI innovation lab at Université Paris Cité allows students and researchers to build agentic AI systems using
AI-on-Demand toolsIn the MANOLO project, ARCADA applied the Z-Inspection® process to evaluate general-purpose AI optimization tools
Advanced research on generative AI's ability to detect misinformation in historical research
The Strategic Context: AI Continent Plan
This innovation fits into the broader AI Continent Action Plan launched on April 9, 2025, to transform Europe into a global leader in artificial intelligence. The plan provides for strategic investments in five key areas:
Advanced Infrastructure: Construction of 13 AI Factories and AI Gigafactories powered by 100,000 advanced AI chips, with the InvestAI initiative mobilizing €200 billion for AI investments, including €20 billion for Gigafactories.
Data Access: The Data Union strategy, planned for the second half of 2025, will focus on making more data available for AI while ensuring a simplified and coherent legal framework for companies.
Sectoral Adoption: Acceleration of AI implementation in strategic sectors such as healthcare, automotive, and advanced manufacturing, supporting only 13.5% of EU companies that currently use AI.
Talent Development: The AI Skills Academy will offer AI education and training programs and facilitate legal migration pathways for non-EU experts through the EU Talent Pool.
Regulatory Simplification: The AI Act Service Desk will transform regulatory compliance from obstacle to competitive advantage, while the AI Act guarantees citizen trust and legal certainty for invest
