Europe launches DeployAI platform to boost AI accessibility
DeployAI is a European Commission-funded flagship project with a €28 million budget aimed at creating an AI-on-demand platform (AIoDP) for small and medium-sized enterprises, public authorities, and scientists across Europe. Coordinated by Germany's Fraunhofer Institute IAIS, the initiative brings together a consortium of 26 partners from 13 European countries. The platform will provide fair and democratic access to cutting-edge AI technologies, including generative AI and large language models, reducing dependence on non-European solutions. It is part of the EU's €4 billion AI innovation package and supports the GenAI4EU initiative and AI factories. The project will run for four years, offering matchmaking services and an interactive landscape tool.
European AI platform initiative that could boost AI adoption for businesses, but not directly adtech-specific.

Global Low-Carbon Forum Explores Grid-Forming and AI Energy Solutions
On September 15, 2026, the Global Low-Carbon Industry Forum was held in Shenzhen, co-hosted by Huawei Digital Power, the Global Solar Council, China Energy Research Society, and other organizations. The event spotlighted the fusion of grid-forming technology with AI to tackle global energy challenges, including system safety, supply security, and electricity access, especially for the nearly 700 million people without power. Key highlights included the launch of the Global Joint Initiative on Grid Forming & AI to accelerate standardization and deployment, and Huawei's introduction of FusionSolar Agent, an AI-based solution for smart power plant management. Notable projects featured the MTerra Solar Grid-Forming PV+ESS project in the Philippines (3.5 GW PV and 4.5 GWh storage, Phase 1 complete) and Europe's first megawatt-level grid-forming test with Fraunhofer IWES. The forum underscored the role of renewable energy, storage, and AI in reshaping the global energy landscape.
EveryCarbon wins FLAIR subcontract to scale materials production
EveryCarbon, a manufacturer of high-performance shielding materials, has won a subcontract under the FLAIR project, led by TU Hamburg, to scale its circular diol production from lab to a 10,000-litre industrial pilot at Popp Feinkost. The project aims to validate the industrial-scale production of ECOne, a polyester insulation material, using food waste hydrolysate and existing infrastructure. This initiative supports the shift to fossil-independent manufacturing and involves partners such as the University of Hamburg and Fraunhofer IPA for monomer development and data analytics. The project is a multi-year effort to convert food-processing side-streams into functional materials.
