Industry Compute Access Program (ICAP)
ICAP is a time-bounded program giving Industry Sponsors and FastLane companies temporary access to Vector-managed AI compute (Tidewater) at no additional cost. It bridges the gap between AI ambition and execution, combining Vector’s research expertise, industry relationships, and direct compute access under one roof to help organizations train, validate, and de-risk AI workloads before committing to production.

ICAP benefits
Validate before you build
Test whether a model or pipeline holds up on real infrastructure before committing to a full production build.
Compute environment:
Access NVIDIA B200 SXM GPUs with 2 TB system RAM and ~2.5 petabytes storage capacity.
Flexible, right-sized access
Up to 4 months of infrastructure access, scoped to project needs, with possible extensions.
No additional cost
Access GPUs at no additional cost, removing the cost barrier of commercial cloud.
What ICAP is not
Production hosting
Indefinite infrastructure sponsorship
Unrestricted / on-demand compute
A replacement for a company’s long-term compute or cloud strategy”
Guaranteed engineering or custom build support
A managed deployment service
Who can apply?
-
- Industry Sponsors and FastLane companies seeking GPU compute for AI projects
-
- Teams with a defined use case for training, validation, or pre-deployment stress-testing
-
- Organizations seeking to de-risk investment decisions with evidence from structured experimentation
