AI & Robotics Estonia (AIRE) invites Estonian manufacturing companies to submit their applications to the call for ideas to boost the competitiveness of the Estonian manufacturing industry. (Y)our future is in (y)our hands!
The AIRE demonstration projects service allows manufacturing companies to test AI and robotics technologies before investing, encouraging further investment in digital technologies. Based on the call for ideas, AIRE’s team provides extensive support for selected demonstration projects, which justifiably leverage AI and AI-enabling technologies (including robotics). The technology, methodology, or prototype tested and validated during the demonstration project must bring novelty and a degree of uncertainty (e.g., a tailor-made solution). The expected results of the AIRE demonstration projects are at least partly reusable in other enterprises and economic sectors.
Kirke Maar leads AIRE. She states that AIRE will not provide financial support to companies. Instead, AIRE supports knowledge transfer from AIRE partner universities to manufacturing companies.
The total cost of a demonstration project defaults up to €60,000. The call for ideas is open all year round, with projects started 3 – 4 times each year. Each project lasts between 6 – 9 months as a default. The next round of successful applications will be selected in May 2023.
To learn more, check the attached Call for Ideas document.
Submit the completed application (together with the CV of the demo project development team lead and other attachments) by emailing demonstration-projects@aire-edih.eu.
