Digital innovation hubs for SME in the manufacturing industry (AI REGIO)
Like the steam engine or electricity in earlier times, artificial intelligence is changing our society and economy today. The digital transformation of industry is already in full swing, however, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face particular obstacles in integrating AI-driven processes into their production operations.
The EU project AI REGIO will make sure that help gets where it is needed for manufacturing SMEs by exploiting and enriching the cross-border network of so called regional Digital Innovation Hubs, competence centers from which companies can access skills and facilities not available in their region.
Through user experiments, SMEs are connected with regional DIHs. Furthermore, project partners are addressing political, technological and business barriers that regional competence networks face in order to create new opportunities for growth and innovation.
As project partner, Steinbeis Europa Zentrum is responsible for the communication and dissemination activities.
