RDI Hub’s AI Gateway to give companies a faster route to build, test and secure AI
RDI Hub has announced a new partnership-led offering designed to help Irish firms and public bodies move faster from AI experimentation to deployment.
RDI AI Gateway brings together three capabilities that many organisations cannot easily access on their own: compute and infrastructure to build AI, sandbox access to test systems for trustworthiness and regulatory readiness, and cyber resilience capability to stress test and secure AI-enabled products before launch. It is designed to remove a major bottleneck in AI adoption within the Irish corporate and start-up environments.
The initiative is built through agreements with the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), Munster Technological University (MTU), and LuxProvide, supported by ICHEC, Ireland’s national high performance computing centre. Together, the partners create a cross-border pathway linking Irish demand with Luxembourg’s AI Factory, sandbox and sovereign infrastructure capabilities, while also opening opportunities for Irish research and cybersecurity expertise to contribute into that wider European ecosystem.
RDI Hub’s work with start-ups, corporates, public bodies and government stakeholders over the past six months identified three recurring needs: the ability to build AI models and AI-enabled products, the ability to test those systems for trustworthiness and readiness, and the ability to secure them through cyber resilience environments. For many regulated organisations, all three are required.
The AI Gateway is designed as a single access point to those capabilities, helping organisations move from early interest in AI to more trusted deployment. Early market engagement is already under way, with Fexco and fintech startup Broc among the organisations exploring the new pathway.
Fergal Brosnan, CEO of RDI Hub, said: “Most AI sandboxes do one thing. The RDI AI Gateway does three. We’ve brought together access to infrastructure to build AI, a sandbox to test and validate it, and cyber resilience capability to test resilience & secure it before deployment. That combination is what organisations have been asking for, and it can help turn AI pilots into systems that are ready for real-world use. A first for Ireland.”
For Irish start-ups and corporates, RDI AI Gateway removes a major bottleneck in AI adoption by combining infrastructure, sandbox testing and cyber resilience in one offering.
Daniele Pagani, lead partnerships officer, human centred AI, data & software, at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), said: “This collaboration with the RDI gives Irish organisations a trusted route into LIST’s AI Sandbox at exactly the moment they need it, as Europe moves from preparing for the EU AI Act to applying it. It is a practical model for cross-border cooperation, and a real strengthening of the innovation link between Luxembourg and Ireland. Together with the RDI, we look forward to fostering the adoption of trustworthy AI solutions in both countries.”
Dr Hazel Murray, Chair of Cybersecurity at Munster Technological University, said: “This collaboration combines MTU’s research and cybersecurity infrastructure with RDI Hub’s industry network and delivery model. Together, we can help turn specialist technical capability into practical support for trusted AI and cyber resilience, while also strengthening links between Ireland and Luxembourg.”
