AI REGIO supports European manufacturing SMEs
The AI REGIO Innovation Action addresses policy, technology and business barriers to support creation and sustainable growth of AI-focused Digital Innovation Hubs (AI DIHs) to support European manufacturing SMEs in their digital transformation.
Policy level
Better coordination of regional smart specialisation strategies by involving regional authorities and fostering closer cooperation across European regions, EU and non-EU countries, to ensure innovation can scale.
Technology level
Enhancing knowledge transfer across the network of DIHs by integrating Data4AI Open Source Platforms with a DIH Innovation Collaboration platform and with an AI4Manufacturing Toolkit, for a total of 64 assets.
Business level
Upgrade the offering of DIHs by AI-driven applications by conducting more than 30 SME-driven and DIH-driven experiments (including Open Calls’ ones) on AI-applications for SMEs under a common framework for ethical-social-business impact measurement, assessment and benchmarking.
