AI & Robotics Estonia (AIRE) is committed to increasing the competitiveness of Estonian industrial companies by helping them adopt artificial intelligence and robotics solutions.
Our goal is to bring universities closer to industry. We offer companies innovative solutions that cannot be found on the private market – be it testing of new technology or software, data analysis methods, cloud solutions, preventive maintenance or development of digital twins.
