The AI REGIO Open Call is addressed to digital and/or manufacturing SMEs, alone or associated in mini-consortia with Digital Innovation Hub (DIHs) and, eligible for Horizon 2020. Only one proposal will be accepted by each SME.
The objective for the second open call of AI REGIO project is to select up to 17 SME-driven experiments:
